UConn vs Creighton Prediction
UConn is the better team and capable of blowing the doors off, but we haven’t seen the Huskies cash a ticket since New Year’s Eve against Xavier. That’s a month of losing money. Creighton is never an easy place to play, and if those shots are falling, watch out. In fact, we’ve seen Creighton beat UConn is 7 of the last 10 meetings. The underdog has cashed in 7 of the last 9 games between Creighton and UConn. I have to side with the home dog.
