Creighton vs UConn Prediction
I’m on Creighton in this one. I think I’m at the point where I just have to accept that this isn’t the same UConn team as past seasons. Perhaps that will change come tournament time as the Huskies attempt to three-peat, but I don’t see it here against a Creighton team that’s rolling and played really well at home over the course of this win streak. The Bluejays have been playing too well to go against and they’ve proven themselves against the top teams in the Big East more often than not this season. I’ll back Creighton here.
