Dana Altman coached Creighton for 16 years, then moved on to Oregon last spring; now he finds himself in best-of-3 series against players that he recruited (Bluejays have four starters back from LY). Creighton has covered its last six games as a favorite; they're very tough at home. MVC home favorites of 6 or less points are 9-7 vs spread. Pac-10 road dogs of 6 or less points are 8-10. Oregon won five of last six games, but are 1-4 in last five road games- this is their first true road game since March 5. Over is 8-3 in Ducks' last 11 games overall.
