Creighton is coming into this game with a 25-9 record this season and they were 14-6 in their conference. They were knocked out of their conference tournament by Providence in the 1st round they played, but they still had the 2nd best record in the conference during the regular season. They have also been playing well in their recent games as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games. They are averaging 80.6 points scored per game this season which is 31st in the country and they have scored 85+ points in 3 of their last 6 games as well as scoring 70+ points in 5 of their last 6. They are going up against a Tennessee team that is 26-8 this season and they were 14-4 in their conference. They finished the regular season with the best record in the SEC but they fizzled out in their 1st round of their conference tournament with a loss to Mississippi State in a game they were dominated in. They have a top 50 defense in the country as they average 67 points allowed per game, but their offense has not been that great. Their offense ranks 51st in the country for points scored as they average 79.1 points scored per game, but they are not an accurate team with their shooting as they rank 180+ from 3 point range and 200+ in the country from the field. It has been more of an issue in their recent games as well as they have scored 62 points or less in 2 of their last 3 as well as scoring 66 points or less in 3 of their last 5 games. That is going to be a big issue here against a Creighton team that can score and is a very good shooting team as well. Creighton ranks in the top 36 for 3 point shooting percentage as well as top 19 for shooting from the field, and their defense also ranks top 65 in the country from both areas. Creighton's can play defense well just like Tennessee but they have the edge on offense to get them through this round. Creighton will cover the spread in this game.
