Let’s get one thing straight — Creighton can ball. They’ve got shooters. They move the ball well. And when they catch fire from deep, it’s beautiful chaos.But in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, beauty fades. What wins is balance. Defense. Depth. Physicality.
That’s why in my bracket — and in Madness, Money, and Mayhem — I’ve got #1 Auburn moving on.This Auburn team isn’t just talented — they’re dangerous. They play like a unit with something to prove. Long, athletic, and ruthless on both ends, they don’t just beat you — they wear you down. They don’t let you breathe. And when the pace picks up, they thrive in the chaos.
Creighton, on the other hand, lives and dies by the three. They’ll either shoot you out of the gym or shoot themselves right into an early exit. And against a team like Auburn that can switch on everything, pressure ball-handlers, and dominate the glass? That’s a bad recipe.
Bracket Pick: #1 Auburn advances.Creighton’s got heart, no doubt. But Auburn has the firepower, the defense, and the depth to end this one before it ever gets interesting. This is exactly the kind of game I love breaking down in my book, Madness, Money, and Mayhem: Your Ultimate Guide to Betting March Madness. Because smart betting and strong brackets aren’t about hype — they’re about patterns, matchups, and knowing when to trust a No. 1 seed to do what they’re built to do. Auburn is built for this, Madness, Money, and Mayhem will help you spot these edges before the rest of the crowd even knows what hit them.
