Creighton vs Tennessee 10:10 ET
Blue Jays (+) over Volunteers- Neither Tennessee or Creighton who have a combined 51 NCAA Tournament appearances have yet to make their first trip to the Final Four and a pair of victories would end that drought. Tennessee (26-8), the No. 2 seed, has one Elite Eight appearance in 2010. The Volunteers reached the Sweet 16 last season, then got upset by Florida Atlantic 62-55. No. 3 seed Creighton (25-9) had a tough time getting to Detroit after a 77-60 win over No. 14 seed Akron in the first round. The Bluejays were taken to double overtime by No. 11 seed Oregon before pulling out an 86-73 win. The Bluejays came agonizingly close to reaching the Final Four last spring, falling in the Elite Eight to San Diego State, 57-56. Creighton's three top scorers Baylor Scheierman, Alexander and Ryan Kalkbrenner also were their top three offensive threats last season. They'll take one more crack at ending the school's Final Four drought. They do it here...take CREIGHTON!
