Josh Dix, G - Creighton Bluejays

West Virginia vs. Creighton Prediction and Pick

West Virginia's defense is one of the best in the country, and I'm going to bank on that being the biggest difference maker in this game. The Mountaineers rank 28th in defensive efficiency, ranking well above Creighton, which comes in at 197th in that metric.

Let's also consider that West Virginia comes from the Big 12, the most competitive conference in the country this season, while Creighton played in the Big East, which suffered from an overall down season. The Big 12 experience is going to work in West Virginia's favor in this game.
