My Prediction
Connecticut Huskies by 20In this classic Big East matchup, we're setting our sights on #22 Creighton Bluejays flying into the den of the #3 Connecticut Huskies, who are licking their chops at the prospect of what seems to be a comfortable win.
Let's talk Creighton first. They're not to be undermined despite their lower ranking. They have a building block in Morgan Maly, who's been phenomenal, averaging 18 points and 7 rebounds over the last month. Not to mention Lauren Jensen, who's been a spree herself with 18.9 points per game just this past month. However, past encounters look deceptively in favor of the Huskies, with Creighton resembling someone who's been repeatedly fed to the wolves.
As for those wolves, the Connecticut Huskies, they have Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong leading their pack, with stats to impress any spectator - Bueckers has been a fiend with 18.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.5 assists just last month, and let's not forget Strong, playing her part with an equally strong show, boasting 14.1 points and 9.8 rebounds recently. They've breezed through their regular season with a 30-3 record. Not to mention, they've owned Creighton in their past encounters, often by a commanding gap.
All in all, the evidence heavily implies there's a big dog on the court and it ain't Creighton's Blue Jays. The Connecticut Huskies appear to have more bite than the Bluejays can handle. Creighton will put on a show, but I expect it'll be the Huskies who will howl in victory at the final whistle, echoing throughout Mohegan Sun Arena.
