Pick
I’m backing Providence here. I get why Creighton’s favored as the Bluejays have been on a tear as of late, but we’re getting Providence as a home dog where they’ve gone 13-0 straight up this season. I think the Bluejays are getting a lot of attention for good reason, but that attention is drawing away from how good and underappreciated Providence is. I’ll side with the Friars in this one.
