Pierre Brooks (Guard) vs. Baylor Scheierman (Guard)

Butler guard Pierre Brooks has been lighting it up this season, averaging 16.6 points on 47.4% shooting along with 4.5 boards and 1.1 assists per contest. The sophomore is a pure scorer who can fill it up from all three levels. His 43.2% clip from deep makes Brooks a dangerous shooter. However, at just 6’5, Brooks lacks size and struggles on the defensive end at times.

Baylor Scheierman has put up 17.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.8 dimes and 1 steal per outing in his first season with Creighton. The 6’7″ guard is a versatile contributor who shoots the ball efficiently (43.5% FG, 37.9% 3pt) and also crashes the glass well for his position. Scheierman is prone to turning it over (2.1 TOPG) and doesn’t have elite athleticism, but his feel for the game helps mask those deficiencies. When these two dynamic scorers face off, fireworks could ensue.

These electric guards match up well stylistically. Both players rely more on skill than pure athleticism to put the biscuit in the basket. With two defensive liabilities, we could see Brooks and Scheierman trading baskets all night long in a shootout. Their supporting casts will play a major role in determining which sniper comes out on top in this enticing clash.

Butler Bulldogs: A Scoring Juggernaut

Butler University’s offense is an offensive force to be reckoned with, averaging 80.8 Points Per Game with an impressive 45.8 Field Goal Percentage. Their proficiency from the free throw line (78.7% accuracy) provides another vital tool in drawing fouls and capitalizing on them. Butler also generates 10.6 offensive rebounds per game allowing second chance points during close games – something Creighton could capitalize on due to 10.4 turnovers per game.

Creighton Bluejays: Defensive and Rebounding Powerhouse

Creighton stands out in rebounding, averaging 39.5 boards per game on average with 30.7 coming from defensive boards alone. Their 48 Field Goal Percentage shows efficient scoring capabilities as do their 10.4 average 3-Point Field Goals per Game – perfect conditions to challenge Butler’s offensive prowess! Creighton also excels at defense; their 3.79 blocks per game average ranks above Butler’s 3.60 blocks average; these traits combined make up their defense strength against Butler.
