Who We Like: Creighton hasn’t come into this tournament looking great, but the Big East has been a tough conference to navigate this season. Not to say the Big 12 isn’t either, but the Big East is the tougher road in my opinion. I think the Bluejays will look strong by stepping out of Big East play, where it can use its offensive ability to run past teams. Kansas State is a defensive-led team, but the Wildcats aren’t a team that can get into a track meet on offense. I think Creighton has too strong of shooting for the Wildcats to hold them in check. The injury issues wont help Kansas State either.
