College Basketball Betting Trends

Michigan

The Wolverines are 25-9-1 ATS in their last 35 game versus the Big Ten. Michigan is 21-8-1 ATS in its last 30 road games.

Indiana

The Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS in their last five Friday games. Indiana is 1-5 ATS in its last six games against the Big Ten.

Prediction:

Neither team is playing the best basketball right now, but the Hoosiers are in desperation mode and already have a game of experience to learn from against the Wolverines. Indiana is catching Michigan at the right time, and while you could say the say thing reversing the teams, I like the home team to keep it close or pull off the upset. Four of the Hoosiers' five losses during this skid have been on the road, while all but one were also against ranked teams. Take that into account when placing a wager on tonight's game.
