The Indiana Hoosiers are looking to rebound from their second loss. They opened the season with an encouraging month that included wins against Big 10 opponents Maryland and Michigan. They had a four-game winning streak end in a 104-76 loss to Auburn and have covered the spread in three of the last four games. Their current Ken Pomeroy rating is 78th and they are undefeated at home. Kel'El Ware is having a great season, averaging 16.7 PPG and 9.2 RPG. Malik Reneau is also having a great season at 14.8 PPG on 58% shooting. Xavier Johnson is questionable due to injury but is key averaging 10.5 PPG on 48% shooting.

Kel'el Ware has so much game. 💯 #iubb x @IndianaMBB 📺: ESPN2 pic.twitter.com/ovIHZvDCOI

Kansas Jayhawks' Margin of Victory Decreases as Hoosiers of Indiana Aim to Make a Statement

Kansas Jayhawks have recorded a series of wins, though falling short of covering points since several of their wins have not exceeded double-digit margins. Meanwhile, Hoosiers of Indiana show potential as they have earned four out of five victories over teams such as Maryland and Michigan. Their two losses are attributed to UConn and Auburn, top-ranked opponents. Scoring prowess has enabled the Hoosiers to remain competitive as they have an average of 109.4 points per 100 possessions while Jayhawks average 114.2 points in those same conditions. On top of that, Kansas has only scored an average of 74 points out of their five last games and now face their first away game at the intimidating Assembly Hall.
