Our Creighton vs West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Creighton edges West Virginia 76-73
Best Pick: Creighton wins at -120. The Blue Jays are trying to give head coach Greg McDermott something to relish before retiring from his post as Creighton’s head coach. 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against Big 12 teams, Creighton will again lean on Nik Craves and Jason Dix to lead the charge for the Blue Jays.
Moreover, Creighton will also try to replicate the suffocating defense that hounded Rutgers to 37 FG% and 14 3PT% in the quarterfinals. West Virginia has a flat-out scorer, Honor Huff, but I do not doubt that Creighton has already prepared a game plan to slow him down.
Our betting predictions for the West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Creighton Blue Jays: Creighton will win.
