Omaha, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Doug McDermott scored a game-high 25 points and grabbed six rebounds, leading No, 25 Creighton to a 97-62 thrashing of Houston Baptist on Saturday night. Gregory Echenique netted 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to go with five blocks, while Ethan Wragge added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Bluejays (8-1), who bounced back from an 80-71 defeat at the hands of Saint Joseph's last Saturday.

Creighton then used a 18-5 run over the next nine-plus minutes of action to take a commanding 28-6 lead. The Bluejays continued to pour it on and a pair of free throws by Wragge put them up 37-10 with just over three minutes to go in the opening half.

The Bluejays scored 12 straight points early in the second half to go up 58-25, before Hill put in a layup.

Creighton shot 45.6 percent from the field and dominated Houston Baptist on the glass, outrebounding them, 56-36.

Game Notes

Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jordan Henriquez paced Kansas State with 17 points and eight rebounds as the Wildcats took down No. 23 Alabama, 71-58, at the Sprint Center.

The Crimson Tide quickly took the lead back on a Trevor Lacey three-pointer, but the Wildcats ended the half on 6-2 run to take a 26-24 lead at the break.

After a Green three-point play put the Crimson Tide ahead, 35-34, 5:49 into the second half, the Wildcats reeled off a 13-2 run to take a 47-37 lead with 10:55 left in the game.

Game Notes

Columbia, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 10th-ranked Missouri Tigers are off to a fantastic start, and they are obvious favorites in this afternoon's non- conference matchup with the William & Mary Tribe. A member of the Colonial Athletic Association, the Tribe is just 2-8 overall this season and 1-8 in league play. On Thursday, William & Mary did manage to halt a three-game slide with a 70-47 victory over Wesley College, but today's clash obviously presents a monumental leap in competition.

Missouri has yet to lose under the guidance of first-year head coach Frank Haith, whose 10-0 Tigers are one of just nine unbeaten teams nationally. Perhaps most impressive about the start is that all 10 wins have come by double figures. Missouri is coming off a 104-67 romp over Kennesaw State and is 7-0 at home.

Marcus Denmon of Missouri is scoring 20.9 ppg on 55 percent shooting from the field, including 49.2 percent from three-point range. He gets plenty of help from three other double-digit scorers, including Kim English (15.9 ppg), a 52.5 percent three-point shooter. Ricardo Ratliffe is shooting a staggering 76.5 percent from the floor, and he provides 14.6 ppg and 7.2 rpg. Michael Dixon rounds out the double-digit scorers with 10.9 ppg for the Tigers, who have utilized the same starting lineup in every game to date. Missouri is generating 87.3 ppg on 51.9 percent field goal efficiency while limiting foes to 60.6 ppg on 40.1 percent shooting. In the romp over Kennesaw State, five Tigers reached double figures in scoring, and the squad got 18-point efforts from both Ratliffe and Dixon. Missouri shot 60 percent from the field in that tilt and hit 20-of-25 free throws.
