Butler vs. Creighton: Best picks and prediction
Senior guard Baylor Scheierman has been stepping up throughout the season as he is shooting 43.5% from the floor, including 37.9% from beyond the arc. He is averaging 17.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.7 minutes per game.
The Butler program does not have anyone on the same level who can take over a game just like Scheierman, so they definitely have a distinct advantage in terms of talent.
The ability to shoot the basketball is the key point of the game and there is a bit of a difference between these teams. The Bulldogs are shooting 45.8% from the floor while the Bluejays are connecting on 48.0% from the field.
The Creighton Bluejays are just the overall better program at this point and should be able to cover the spread at home.
Pick: Creighton Bluejays -9.5 (-105)
