Creighton vs Baylor Prediction | March Madness Expert Picks
NC State gave Creighton all they could handle in the first round, as the Bluejays had zero answers for Terquavion Smith. They will have to be much better defensive in this matchup with Baylor. The Bears trailed at halftime of their game against UCSB, but a massive second half led to an 18-point win.
All season long, the defense of Baylor was in question, though they played pretty well on Friday. It seems like the Bears are always playing their best come tournament time, and the opposite is typically true of the Bluejays. While Baylor limped into the NCAA Tournament, it looks like they will be a tough out once again.
This game comes down to Baylor stopping Creighton big man Ryan Kalkbrenner. I believe Baylor has the size, athleticism and smarts to do this, which should give them the win.
