Oregon vs Creighton 9:30 ET
Blue Jays (-) over Ducks- Oregon coach Dana Altman hails from Nebraska and spent 16 seasons leading Creighton, racking up a 327-176 record with seven NCAA Tournament appearances. He did not want the NCAA Tournament selection committee to pair Oregon and Creighton in the bracket, but that's exactly what happened and one reason is that he is aware of how tough the Bluejays can be. After the 11th-seeded Ducks (24-11) took down South Carolina 87-73 in the first round and they will face the third-seeded Bluejays (24-9) in Midwest Region. Coach Greg McDermott has taken the Bluejays to new heights and when they defeated Akron 77-60 on Thursday, it was McDermott's 10th NCAA Tournament win. There will be a showdown between 6-foot-11 Oregon center N'Faly Dante and 7-foot-1 Creighton center Ryan Kalkbrenner. Bluejays are mean and nasty and will ground the Ducks. Take CREIGHTON!
