The weekend game between Auburn and Creighton from the South Region is one to watch. Both teams qualified for the second round of the NCAA Tournament quite easily.
The No. 1 Auburn Tigers, whose current record is 29-5, progressed past Alabama State in the first round after a convincing 83–63 victory on Thursday. Before this, they lost to the No. 2 Tennessee Volunteers in the semifinal of the SEC Tournament. The Tigers won each half comfortably with 41–31 and 42–32, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Creighton Bluejays (25-10) return to winning ways following their loss to the St John's Red Storm in the final of the Big East Tournament. They defeated the No.8 Louisville Cardinals 89–75. The Bluejays claimed the first half 49–34 but lost in the second half, 40–41, which had little to no effect on the game.

On the other hand, Creighton is solid defensively and will look to prevent Auburn's attacking threat. Ryan Kalkbrenner, who won Big East Defensive Player of the Year for the fourth time, will be key in the Bluejays' defense setup. In attack, Jamiya Neal contributed to his team's performance with 29 points,12 rebounds and six assists, whereas center Kalkbrenner had 14 points to crown his defensive abilities.
The game has tough written all over it, but Auburn should be able to break down Creighton's defense and get the win.
