CBB | Creighton 85 @ Baylor 76 | 03/19 | 11:10 PM UTC
Creighton PK -110
ANALYSIS: I bought a Final Four ticket on Creighton back in May when South Dakota State star Baylor Scheierman, the 2021-22 Summit League Player of the Year, announced he was transferring there, and a path to the Elite Eight is certainly wide open as Creighton would play No. 15 Princeton with a win here. The Bluejays are just 1-11 in their second NCAA Tournament game of an appearance, but who on Baylor can deal with 7-footer and Big East Defensive Player of the Year Ryan Kalbrenner? In Round 1 against NC State, he was 11-for-14 from the field for 31 points and leads the nation in shooting at 71.7%. Creighton doesn't have much of a bench so it needs to stay out of foul trouble but will advance if it does. Overall in KenPom, Creighton ranks 13th while Baylor ranks 15th.
