Creighton +6.5 over UCONN
UConn has a great offense; they value the basketball and take the best available shot. Crieghton also plays at a slower tempo, so I don’t expect either team to pull away from each other. Tonight’s game could be a preview of the BIG East Championship Game. Both teams are trying to improve their ranking inside of the top 25. Dan Hurley and Greg McDermott are outstanding coaches who can take their teams to the Final Four. I believe the Blue Jays are underrated and better than UConn. Creighton plays better defense and has played the more rigid schedule to date. The BlueJays have a veteran team with a size advantage that can shoot and rebound at a high level. Look for this game to be closer than Vegas set the line at. Take Creighton.
