Villanova heads to Omaha trying to stay hot and build a strong tournament profile, while Creighton looks to play spoiler down the stretch.
The Wildcats have been the more consistent team this season, especially in the areas that matter most late in games, which is why I'm backing Villanova to get the job done in my Villanova vs. Creighton predictions and college basketball picks for Saturday, February 14.
Villanova vs Creighton prediction
Villanova vs Creighton best bet: Villanova -3.5 (-116 at bet365)
Villanova’s offense lines up cleanly with what Creighton struggles to guard. Nova is averaging 1.11 points per possession on attack-and-kick actions and 0.99 on dribble jumpers. Creighton’s defense is leaking in both areas, allowing 0.98 on attack-and-kick and 0.91 off the dribble.
That’s a bad combo when Tyler Perkins and Acaden Lewis are creating quick-read advantages, and Duke Brennan is there as the rim finisher. Creighton can run in transition, but if this stays half-court, Nova’s shot quality wins.

Villanova’s creators can win this game in the half-court. It also suits them best. Given I’m backing them, I expect this game to be played on their terms. The Jays can’t consistently create offense in the half-court, Villanova will keep them there and that suits the Under.

Our beyond the arc SGP: Brennan goes wild
Creighton is vulnerable around the rim, and that’s exactly where Brennan thrives. Villanova is scoring 1.19 PP on big cut-and-roll actions. Creighton struggles here, making this an obvious point to target. Along with that, Creighton hasn’t exactly been a dominating rebounding team, while Brennan has been one of the better rebounders in the Big East. My long shot essentially backs him to collect a double-double in a grinder of a game.
