Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Creighton Bluejays: Darren Buchanan Jr. faces shifting odds
Creighton enters the quarterfinal as the consensus moneyline favorite at -172 while Rutgers sits at +142, and the market split shows 18 percent of moneyline tickets on Creighton with 82 percent on Rutgers. DraftKings has Creighton at -205 after opening at -162 with the odds trend marked down, while Rutgers is +170 after opening +136 with an uptrend that signals a longer payout price than earlier in the week. FanDuel mirrors that direction with Creighton moving to -172 from -140 and Rutgers to +142 from +116, and those moves align with a market that is pricing Creighton more firmly while still drawing heavier moneyline ticket share toward Rutgers.

Opinion
Duke University sets the paint, glass, and whistle terms against St. John's Red Storm
Duke Blue Devils has not been winning this postseason by living and dying on jumpers, and that is exactly why the popular read on this matchup misses the point. DUKE’s clearest edge has been force and structure inside, not flair. In the East Regional Second Round on 2026-03-21, DUKE put up 38 points in the first half and established a paint-first identity with 38 points in the paint for the game, backed by 71 percent on 2 point attempts and a steady 17 assists.

UNLV vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane: Can the Rebels set the tempo at Donald W. Reynolds Center?
UNLV enters this playoff matchup with a recent template that travels: make shots early, build a cushion, and force the opponent to score against a set defense. In its last outing, UNLV’s offense was most efficient when it mixed paint touches with perimeter spacing, finishing with a field goal rate of 54 and an effective field goal rate of 64. The shot profile was balanced enough to prevent long dry spells, and the Rebels’ ball movement showed up in their assist total, but the possession game tilted too often because of turnovers. A playoff road game usually magnifies that risk; empty trips can feed a home crowd and give Tulsa extra transition chances.
