Creighton vs. San Diego State live stream, prediction, selection, odds, tv channel, how to watch elite eight online

The crescendo of March Madness will reach deafening levels on Sunday when the finals of this year’s Elite Eight get underway in earnest with the South Regional Finals between 5th-seeded San Diego State and 6th-seeded Creighton. How wild was this NCAA tournament? We are guaranteed a first-time Final Four runner regardless of the outcome of this matchup.

San Diego State defeated No. 1 overall Alabama in the Sweet 16 for its shot at a Final Four berth against the Bluejays after they beat Charleston and Furman in the first and second rounds. Creighton has lost two double-digit seeds on his trip but has won by nine or more points in three straight games, including Baylor by over 3 seeds. Both teams are playing as well as they have all season which should increase the intensity of Sunday’s game as we get closer to crowning a champion.

Creighton vs. San Diego State: What you should know

Creighton had little trouble ending Princeton’s Cinderella run on Friday and came away with the 86-75 win. Baylor Scheierman played for the Bluejays in the win, shooting 5 of 7 from downtown and finishing with 21 points and nine rebounds. Center Ryan Kalkbrenner added 22 points in addition to five boards.

San Diego State, meanwhile, edged away in the Sweet 16 with a 71-64 win over first-seeded Alabama. Darrion Trammell led the Aztecs in the excitement, dropping 21 points with five boards.

Creighton prevailed in a thrill when the two teams met in March 2022 and crept to the top with a 72-69 win while knocking San Diego State out of the NCAA tournament. Needless to say, the Aztecs had the ultimate form of vengeance in mind.

This line started at Creighton -1.5 and has already moved to Creighton -2 so I’m going to lay the two expecting it to move further towards Creighton ahead of time. This team has the weapons to take on the defensive-minded San Diego State entity that brought down Alabama thanks to a unique combination of guards, wings and bigs that stack up positively against the Aztecs on paper. Choice: Creighton -2
