Creighton will attempt to become only the fourth team since UCLA, Michigan and Villanova to win three consecutive NCAA Tournament games when it meets 14th-seeded Akron at PPG Paints Arena Thursday for its opening round game at 12:30 p.m. Central time. Tipoff for that contest begins at 12:30 pm Central.
The Bluejays average 80.5 points per game this season, placing 32nd nationally. One key reason behind their success lies within their blazing 60.6% three point shooting success according to ShotQualityBets. Sammy Hunter can help Akron avoid an early exit if he can keep Ryan Kalkbrenner off of the rim and away from free throw line - possibly leading them into victory against Boston and Toronto respectively.
Akron Bluejays play quickly and often get good looks off offensive rebounds, opening up lanes for their guards to score and helping them average a conference-high 46.3 rebounds per game. Ali Ali and Enrique Freeman from Akron can hold their own against this high-scoring squad but can't keep pace.
Both teams can run the floor and are solid shooters, creating an exhilarating matchup. The Zips' slow tempo and stingy defense give them a chance at staying competitive, though some cold shooting nights may pose challenges - they currently rank 221st nationally for first-half scoring this year after facing an initial 13-point deficit against Ohio last week.
