Indiana has had what some might say a “rough” season thus far having gone 12-12 straight up in college basketball betting odds and a miserable 3-8 in Big Ten action. The Hoosier last won in early February vs the Minnesota Golden Gophers but followed that up with a heartbreaking 63-64 loss at home to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Indiana allowed a 15-foot jumper in the final minutes of the game vs Iowa to lose by one point at Assembly Hall and drop to 8-9 ATS for the season after missing the spread as 5.5-point favorites in college basketball odds.

Victor Oladipo had the chance to tip in the game winner but missed to cap a night that saw a 10-point lead with 8-minutes left in the game turn into a 1-point loss. Purdue started off the season on a tear going 16-1 heading into January of this year. Since then, the Boilermakers have gone 3-7 straight up for an 18-5 record on the season and a 7-3 record vs Big Ten conference opponents. Purdue last played on the road vs the Wisconsin Badgers and were handed a 59-66 loss and just missed covering the spread as 5-point underdogs in college basketball predictions to drop to 12-7 ATS for the season. All the betting trends point to a Boilermakers victory at home, having recently gone 5-0 at Mackey Arena and 4-1 in their last five meetings vs the Hoosiers.
