Point Spread: -4.50 | -105.00 BYU (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on BYU.

Creighton beat Alabama 72-54 in the first round and Wagner 87-54 in the second, while BYU beat UAB 97-79 in the first round, before then outlasting Virginia Tech in a slim victory in the second. So far it's been a cake-walk for the Blue Jays, but clearly the talent level across the board goes up significantly now in facing the Cougars. Creighton's defensive numbers have been impressive through the first two rounds, allowing only 54 points in both games, but don't read too much into that. BYU is eighth in the country in scoring offense at 83.7 PPG, shooting 46.4 percent as a team and is in an entirely different league than either Alabama or Wagner. The Blue Jays also average quite a bit, at 79.6 PPG, ranking them 32nd in the country. We're going with battle tested BYU in this one though, which has faced tougher teams than Creighton to get to this point. The Cougars average a few more points and give up the same amount, but also enjoy a significant edge on the glass. That's good enough for us, play on BYU.
