Minnesota at Indiana: Three things to know

1. Minnesota had a two-game win streak snapped Sunday with a 72-59 loss at Maryland as a 3-point underdog. The Gophers were in a 44-28 hole at halftime, shooting just 8-for-27 from the field in the first half. They managed to cut the deficit to 65-59 but didn't score in the final 3:14. Junior G Marcus Carr leads the Gophers in scoring at 19.4 points per game.
2. The Hoosiers also saw a two-game win streak end. Indiana, as a 7-point dog, fell flat at Ohio State 78-59 Saturday. IU trailed 45-40 with 14:15 remaining before OSU went on a 22-4 run for a 67-44 lead at the 7:25 mark. Sophomore F Trayce Jackson-Davis leads the Hoosiers in points (19.5 PPG), rebounds (9.4 RPG) and blocks (1.6 BPG).
3. This is the only regular-season meeting between the two. Indiana swept Minnesota last season and has won four of the last five in the series.

Minnesota at Indiana: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Indiana 65, Minnesota 64

Money line (ML)

Indiana struggles from the free-throw line, hitting just 65.9% of its free-throw attempts.

Toss in the fact IU's backcourt cannot be trusted and Minnesota (+180) is tempting … but the Gophers are 0-7 on the road. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

MINNESOTA +6.5 ( -110) is the STRONGEST PLAY - 1½ times your usual wager. Expect a low-scoring game with neither team being able to put the other away because of shooting woes.

Minnesota is 3-1 ATS in its last four; Indiana is 1-3-1 ATS in its last five.

ATS: Minnesota 10-10-1 | Indiana 11-8-1

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the UNDER 137.5 ( -110). Minnesota is 317th in the country in field-goal percentage (40.3%) and neither squad shoots well from 3-point range. The Gophers hit just 29.4% of their shots behind the arc and the Hoosiers are 34.5%.

With IU's struggles at the line, late fouls shouldn't affect the total.

O/U records: Minnesota 9-12 | Indiana 10-9-1
