The Big East Conference probably could have had more than just three teams in the tournament, but that debate is for another day. The teams who made it from the conference are still in the tournament and have huge matchups in the Sweet 16.

Creighton is one of them, and they are among the best teams left. The Bluejays have proven to be wildly efficient from the field, shooting 48.5%. That efficiency will come in handy when the team takes on Tennessee, which is among the top 50 in points allowed at just 67 per game.

The Volunteers are one of the best teams in the country, and could be interchangeable at No. 5 with the Bluejays. But Creighton can ball with the best of them and Tennessee will have to really shoot well and defend senior guard Baylor Scheierman hard in their matchup.

Next game: Tennessee
