We went out on a limb to fade No. 1 UConn on Tuesday night, and Creighton played its best game of the season to pull off the upset and cash our second straight Look of the Day. Let's go for three in a row with another college basketball pick for Wednesday's slate.
If you're a fan of fast-paced, high-scoring basketball, Wednesday night's Southern Conference bout between Furman and Samford is the game for you.
Samford has one of the most explosive offenses in college basketball this season. The Bulldogs rank fourth in the country in scoring, sixth in effective field-goal percentage and first in three-point shooting percentage. They're also the highest-scoring team in the nation at home (97.0 points per game) and rank 10th in adjusted tempo.
The first matchup between these two teams finished with only 146 points because Samford shot an uncharacteristic 33.3 percent from three. We're expecting a better shooting performance from the Bulldogs this time around, as they rank second in the country in three-point shooting percentage at home.
Samford didn't play to its strengths in the first meeting, so Bucky McMillan's squad will focus on speeding up Furman and shooting a ton of threes in the rematch.
