Randy’s Free Pick
The Creighton Bluejays are playing great ball right now and should be favored at home, where they win by an average of 17.5 points. However, you can argue UConn is the better team overall and we’re getting free points. It wasn’t long ago when UConn was viewed as one of the best teams in the league, and this is just the second time it’s an underdog. Give me the points.
