The Hoosiers dropped to Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament, but then snagged wins over St. Francis PA and Arkansas in their first two NIT rounds. The Shockers’ AAC Tournament loss came 66-63 to a good Cincinnati team, and since they’ve beaten Furman and Clemson in the NIT.
Indiana’s win over Arkansas was pretty close most of the way, as the Hoosiers had just a two-point edge going into halftime. It was a solid win for the Hoosiers, but something of a letdown in the points total (the Hoosiers had put up at least 75 in each of their four games prior).
As for Wichita State they had a pretty good run going until they hit Cincinnati, and since they’ve been playing pretty well. This is a tough game to predict because I don't have a lot of confidence in either team. Both teams are almost identical statistically, but I just feel that Indiana has played better competition all season and overall should be the better team here.
