Creighton vs Oregon Prediction | March Madness Expert Picks
Don’t let the final score fool you, the Creighton Bluejays dominated the Akron Zips in the first round. Although the game was close early in the second half, Creighton simply couldn’t miss. The Bluejays shot 56% from the field and 58% from behind the arc. This team will continue to shoot the rock at will and their defense may be just as good as their offense. The one question mark for Creighton is their bench as only two bench players played more than two minutes in the first round. If they can’t keep their starters fresh or get production from the bench, they could be in trouble.
Welcome to the show, Jermaine Couisnard. Oregon’s senior guard brought a new meaning to “hot” as he dropped 40 points on 14/22 shooting from the floor. The Ducks got plenty of output from their center N’Faly Dante as well, who also had 23 points on 7/9 shooting. To stop this Ducks team, you need to stop Couisnard and hope to have the bodies down low to try to stop Dante. Creighton has both, but do they have the depth if they find themselves in foul trouble early?
This game could truly go either way and this game should be a certified classic. There are multiple ways this game can play out, but this one will most likely come down to the wire. Creighton may be hot, but their lack of depth is worrying. For our Creighton vs Oregon prediction, we are picking the Oregon Ducks to win and move on in the NCAA Tournament.
