Creighton at Nevada

This is an interesting match-up. These teams will garner the mid-major label, but both have proven over the years, they can go toe-to-toe with the power conferences. This Nevada team may be the best so-called mid-major, rivaling the great Gonzaga teams over the past several years. They have everything, including an All-American. Creighton has had a good season, but this isn't a vintage Creighton team. The evidence is in their play on the road. They lost to Nebraska,Dayton,Fresno,Hawaii,Ind St,Ill St., and Wichita St. That is 7 losses to teams not even in this tournament. We are not concerned with Nevada's loss to Utah St. in the finals of their own tournament, as their PG sat out with a hamstring injury, and will be ready for tonight's game. This team was 12-2 on the road, so they are experienced, and can win anywhere. Not as close as it looks.
