Creighton Form

Creighton enter this second-round matchup in good form, having now won eight of their last 10 games.

The Bluejays closed out the regular season by responding to an 80-66 defeat at St John’s (NY) with a three-game win streak.

They beat Seton Hall 85-64 and Marquette 89-75 at home, before heading out on the road to down Villanova, 69-67.

That put Creighton in good form for the Big East conference tournament, but they made a surprisingly swift exit as they lost 78-73 to Providence.

The Bluejays did rebound in the first round of March Madness though, blowing out Akron in a 77-60 victory.

Oregon Form

Oregon come into their second game at March Madness having now won five consecutive games.

The Ducks lost a bunch of games in the final few weeks of the season, but managed to sign off on a positive note with a 66-65 win over Utah.

They then built on that at the Pac-12 conference tournament, where they beat UCLA 68-66 and downed Arizona 67-59 to make the final.

Oregon then completed a successful mission by clinching the conference tournament crown with a 75-68 victory over Colorado.

The Ducks then took their win streak to five games in the opening game of the national tournament, as they saw off South Carolina in an 87-73 win.

Verdict

Creighton’s offensive prowess gives us confidence that they will win and cover here.

Few teams in the nation are more efficient shooting the basketball than the Bluejays, and that efficiency can be the difference here.
