No. 13 Ohio vs. No. 5 Creighton in West Region. I'm a little concerned picking the Bobcats because they are taking such heavy action all over the place (I like to fade the public), and Creighton is a fine team. That said, Ohio U. is rolling, winning 10 of 11, and the Bobcats nearly upset Illinois early in the season in the Illini's gym. I'm not very high on Creighton's Big East right now, either, with how both Georgetown and UConn went out meekly in Round 1. The Bluejays are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 NCAA Tournament games as favorites.

The Bobcats have won and covered 10 of their last 11 and face a Creighton team that's fortunate to have survived UCSB. Ohio star Jason Preston had 11 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists in the upset of Virginia; he should take more than seven shots Monday. Creighton is 3-4 ATS in its last seven games, with one of the covers coming by one point. Look for an entertaining, high-scoring game that goes down to the wire.
