Providence beat Creighton twice this year. Providence coach is Kim English ex Tennessee staffer for Rick Barnes. Providence plays Defense has the top defensive player. If We play good defense and everyone can contribute to scoring Tennessee should win.

Both opinions base themselves on their team playing good defense...so, using my old standby website...here is how they stack up on defensive efficiency rankings:

Tennessee - #7
Creighton - #66

How have they done against the top 25 most efficient defenses this season?

Tennessee:
#11 Auburn - won by 8;
#15 - St. Peters - won by 34
#21 - UNC - lost by 8

Creighton:
#16 - Loyola (CHI) - won by 23
#8 - UCONN - lost by 14; won by 19
