The double digit seeds-- Creighton and South Dakota-- have earned some respect with tighter spreads than I expected.

They both have legitimate shots at upsets. The match ups favor both of them.

Remember that the commentators have reported that South Dakota has
not trailed for ONE MINUTE in each of their 2 first round games. Those
were wins over Mississippi and Baylor.

Their three top players are also fifth year seniors. This is playing a huge role in the tournament.
