I think the steam is justified here today so I'll accept the push at 12. I think Creighton got a bit of a pass against a San Diego State team that should have been able to close out a win. Kansas can, has, and will put teams away. I think we see Creighton have difficulties to score against the Kansas defense while the Jayhawks have what it takes to score on anyone. Creighton has the tendency to turn the ball over and is not a great shooting team this season. I'll lay the big number.

While Creighton did a good job of seizing the opportunities that were presented, the Jays' first round win was thanks in large part to San Diego State coughing up control of the game twice. Furious late comebacks in both regulation and overtime bode well for Creighton's confidence if this game is close late, but I think Kansas can win by 12-15 points with its B-game and if the Jayhawks are clicking this might be a 17-20 point win. Creighton just doesn't have the horses to keep up.
