Northwestern Wildcats vs Indiana Hoosiers Predictions 1/8/2023

 

Following a tight loss, the 15th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers are looking to bounce back. They lost the Big Ten opener on the road against a quality Rutgers team but bounced back by upsetting Nebraska.

 

In its Thursday night away loss to Iowa, 91-89, Indiana was viewed as a one-point underdog. Recently, the Hoosiers lacked consistency. In five straight games, they failed to cover the spread.

 

After missing three games, Trayce Jackson-Davis made his comeback on Thursday and put up an astounding 30 points in the loss.

 

The senior forward, who averages 17.6 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game, is among the best in the Big Ten. In three straight games, Jalen Hood-Schifino scored at least 17 points, including 19 on Thursday.

 

The Hoosiers have an 8-0 record at home and are ranked 19th in DI according to Ken Pomeroy’s rankings.

 

Indiana scored more than 80 points in two of their previous 3 matches, and their season scoring average of 80.7 points places them 33rd overall. They rank 130th in scoring defense with a 67.1-point average against.

 

  • The Indiana Hoosiers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 matches. 
  • The total went OVER in 5 of Indiana’s last 6 matches.
  • The Hoosiers are 10-4 SU in their last 14 matches.

Northwestern Wildcats vs #15 Indiana Hoosiers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #15 Indiana Hoosiers. The outstanding Hoosiers’ attack presents a tremendous test for the Northwestern Wildcats.

 

In their last six games against teams from top conferences, NW only went 3-3, including a difficult 73-57 loss to Ohio State last week.

 

This year, Indiana is yet to suffer a defeat at home. Additionally, compared to Northwestern’s 101.7 points per 100 possessions, Indiana is averaging a brilliant 112 points per 100 possessions.

 

This large discrepancy makes the Hoosiers’ advantage in the spread more than justifiable. The Hoosiers have a strong defense as well, giving up 65 points or less in two of their three Big Ten contests.

 

This is crucial because NW’s offense is lacking, as they shot a dismal 38% on the year. The #15 Indiana Hoosiers will win to a predicted score of 70-64.
