South Dakota vs Creighton — Matchup Breakdown
Creighton (#23): Greg McDermott’s motion offense should generate quality looks early through pace, spacing, and ball reversals. The Bluejays’ edge is at the arc and in shot selection — clean feet-set threes and cuts behind overplays. If they win the glass and keep turnovers minimal, the South Dakota vs Creighton line makes sense even at a large number.
South Dakota: The Coyotes need to control tempo and value possessions. That means long, patient half-court sets, attacking closeouts instead of challenging length at the rim, and living at the stripe. If they can stack defensive stops and limit second-chance points, the back-door cover becomes live against an aggressive favorite.
What to Watch
- Tempo control: Creighton wants clean early offense; South Dakota must make this a grind.
- Rebounding gap: Second-chance points could be decisive relative to a big spread.
- Bench minutes: Depth and late-game rotations matter with a 30-point number.

South Dakota vs Creighton Odds Prediction
Creighton’s shooting, ball security, and length should overwhelm across 40 minutes — but a number near 30 leaves room for variance late. With the public piling onto the big dog, we’ll still lean with the favorite’s efficiency at home. **Pick: Creighton -29.5** (very small).
Total stays close to market number in our opinion if that is a more comfortable position would be a lean on under 168.5.
