Creighton vs UConn Prediction

I’m on UConn here. I just didn’t love what I saw from Creighton in needing overtime to scrape by Depaul in a game where the Bluejays trailed by double digits for a good part of that game. That rally also creates a bit of a letdown factor here, as the Bluejays exerted so much energy in that game and now have to turn around on no rest and battle one of their biggest rivals in the conference. I think that UConn is just flat out the better team here. Give me UConn laying the points in this one.
