TN has a great defense.. but they did leave some guys open.. we just couldn't hit the shots.. Based on your write-up, I suspect Creighton will be able to take better advantage of those situations.

They shot 14-28 against UConn. That is lethal against a really good defense.

Creighton is #8 in offensive efficiency and #30 defensively, so we're a really well-rounded team. To be honest, I'm surprised the Vols are favored. That's not a knock on your team; they're elite. But I haven't been paying attention to their stats, so I'm wondering what the sportsbook see that I don't.

Lines are set based on action..

1/2 on one side
1/2 on the other

It has nothing to do with who they think will win.

TN is SEC, has a big following, and is a higher seed.

Creighton is a good basketball school, but a casual fan won't know that and I think most would pick TN straight up.
