• The line for the game is Northwestern by 3 points.

• Brady Manek scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field to lead five players in double figures against Creighton and help hand Kruger his 150th win as coach of the Sooners. Christian James contributed 14 points and 12 rebounds against the Bluejays to register his fourth consecutive double-double as the Sooners held Creighton, which tops the nation in 3-point percentage (44.8), to 7-of-30 from beyond the arc. Miles Reynolds, Rashard Odomes and Kristian Doolittle all tallied 13 points and will be counted on to provide some offense against a Northwestern team, which gives up 61 points per contest.

• Freshman Miller Kopp flashed some of the potential that made him a highly-touted recruit as he scored a career-high 17 points and pulled down four rebounds in the win against Chicago State. Vic Law added 17 points, four assists and three steals to finish with over 15 points for the fourth straight game, which is the longest streak of his career while Dererk Pardon produced 13 points and seven rebounds against the Cougars. Aaron Falzon, who averaged 5.5 points in 2017-18, scored six points in his season debut after missing the previous 10 games with an ankle injury.

• The Wildcats have won 31 of their last 32 non-conference home games since the start of the 2015-16 season.
