This game favors Creighton but many people are high on the No. 11 Oregon Ducks in this tournament and game. As a 3 seed it is fair that Creighton is the favorite here. They have the better resume and ranking in the AP Top 25 Poll. Oregon is hot though and that sometimes is all a team needs in the tournament to get a win and keep rolling.
Oregon secured a win and an upset in the first round. As the 11 seed they beat the No. 6 seeded South Carolina with ease. They won the game by 14 points. South Carolina was a solid team, they had the third-best SEC record in conference play but were no match for Oregon. This Oregon team has talent and should be hard to stop in this game.
Creighton should feel confident in themselves. They find themselves as the favorite to win in this game by 5.5 points. On the season Creighton was great. Playing in the Big East they had the same conference record as Marquette, a 2 seed. A loss in the Big East Tournament to Providence really hurt them, however. The first round was a breeze against Akron but now they face a greater challenge in this one that should be a competitive game.
