Creighton have won 5 of their last 6 games, but in the past month have also been strongly outplayed by Georgetown, Villanova and Xavier. Oddsmakers are expecting a high-scoring game; as both teams can put the ball in the basket. G Marcus Zegarowski and F Damien Jefferson need to play their best for Creighton to have a chance to win this one. Only 18 teams this year has a worse free-throw percentage than Creighton’s 64.1%, and that could prove costly against a team like Gonzaga.

Gonzaga are 28-0, and they are seeking to be the first team since the Indiana Hoosiers in 1976 (32-0) to win the tournament while staying undefeated for the entire season. Gonzaga’s fast moving offense usually wears down opponents, and they often earn plenty of free throws, which the Bulldogs are very good at hitting.
