Creighton vs. Mississippi

This is a battle of unbeaten 4-0 squads, so expect a big game by both defenses. Especially since this is the Championship round of the Paradise Jam. Mississippi topped St. Joe's yesterday with a strong defensive effort, including a 42-33 edge in rebounds. Ole Miss has gone UNDER the total in five of its last seven neutral-site games. Creighton also played yesterday, knocking off NC State, and the Bluejays have gone four straight games UNDER the total against the SEC. These teams met in an earlier season tournament two years ago and it was a defensive game, with Ole Miss winning 75-68. This shapes up as a game where both coaches demand all-out defense. This one stays UNDER.
