Indiana vs Rutgers -3 O/U 131
A tale of 2 teams that went in different directions since mid-January. Neither team has any top 50 non-conference wins which is concerning but right now but I do have Rutgers in the big dance and especially if they win this game for insurance. Indiana out unless they make serious run here in the Big 10 tournament. After than second Iowa win for Indiana, they lost 6 of their last 8 games and haven’t won a game since February 17th against Minnesota. Rutgers was looking out of the tournament for a while until they started a nice streak by going to Indiana and then winning 7 of their last 11 big 10 games. According to kenpom, somehow Indiana has the better offensive efficiency only because they get to the free throw line 42% of all field goal attempts to 27% of field goal attempts. I think that is more of an officiating problem if you ask me. Rutgers leads Indiana in 3 point percentage, rebounding, FG percentage, blocked shots, turnovers, assists and and overall defense. The only thing that Rutgers doesn’t lead Indiana in is Free Throws.
Rutgers -3 – 2 stars
BONUS PLAY
ML Parley with Colorado State -400 and Tulsa -150 – This pays 1:1 – 2 stars. I do not see either team losing this game. You may have to wake up to this one as the CSU game is late.
