Oregon vs Creighton Picks & Prediction

There is definitely a lot of love for Oregon, who not only captured the Pac-12 championship, but also cruised past South Carolina as an 11th seed in the first round.

Creighton pulled away from Akron in the second half of Thursday's 77-60 win for the program's fourth consecutive first round game in the tournament.

The Bluejays dominate from inside the arc by posting a 60.5% clip on 2-point attempts, which is 3rd in the nation. Oregon ranks 224th in the country in defending 2-pointers by allowing opponents to shoot 51.3%.

Oregon beat a South Carolina team that relies on slowing the pace as Creighton has way more weapons to turn to.

Another key factor is free-throw shooting in this matchup. You can't control how your opponents fare at the charity stripe, but Creighton's foes shot 78.5% from the line, while Oregon converts on nearly 72% of its attempts.

Creighton is looking for its third Sweet 16 appearance in four seasons and the Bluejays should get it here against a tough Ducks' squad.

Pick: Creighton -5 (-110)
