Pete Fiutak writes: "This will be more of a grind than an up-and-down firefight, but unlike the Texas game, Tennessee will be just a wee bit sharper than the other side. More importantly, the great defense - with time to rest - will lock down on the Bluejay outside bombers. The Creighton energy will generate a few good runs and timely points, but over the long haul of the game, the Vol D will come through."

Picks and Parlays: Tennessee 75, Creighton 69
Anthony Allen writes: "The Creighton Blue Jays will need to drain the 3-point shot against a very tough Tennessee defense. The Blue Jays will need to limit their fouls also if they want to emerge victorious against a good free throw shooting team in Tennessee. The Volunteers are terrific on the defensive boards. Yes, Creighton can get on the glass, but it’s not exactly the most physical team. Tennessee will need to improve their scoring over last game which they struggled against Texas. This will be a very close competitive game with the Tennessee defense coming up big to control the long range Creighton shooters and limit their effectiveness. Tennessee will do just enough to win and move on to the elite eight."
