Indiana Hoosiers

Indiana is coming off a one-point road win hoping to continue their success against Northwestern, despite a history of losses to their rivals. The team is facing injuries but only one player has been ruled out, with the others listed as questionable. The offense, led by top scorers Oumar Ballo and Malik Reneau, should focus on inside play rather than relying on three-point shots. The team ranks poorly in three-point shooting statistics but excels in field goal and free throw percentages. Defensively, they have a middle-of-the-road ranking in field goal and free throw percentages allowed. The Hoosiers need to maintain their rebounding and assist stats while minimizing turnovers. In terms of results, Indiana is 13-5 overall and 10-8 against the spread this season.
