Our Free NCAA Basketball Pick for Tennessee vs Creighton

The Creighton Blue Jays will need to drain the 3-point shot against a very tough Tennessee defense. The Blue Jays will need to limit their fouls also if they want to emerge victorious against a good free throw shooting team in Tennessee. The Volunteers are terrific on the defensive boards. Yes, Creighton can get on the glass, but it’s not exactly the most physical team. Tennessee will need to improve their scoring over last game which they struggled against Texas. This will be a very close competitive game with the Tennessee defense coming up big to control the long range Creighton shooters and limit their effectiveness. Tennessee will do just enough to win and move on to the elite eight. Final Score Prediction, Tennessee wins 75-69.
