Indiana was on the road in their latest where they lost to Nebraska 66-57. The Hoosiers were +3 in the game, so they failed to get the point spread cover. Robert Johnson and reserve Justin Smith were the two top scorers for the Hoosiers each picking up 16 points. James Palmer Jr. was the lead scorer for the Cornhuskers with 15 points on 6 of 12 shooting and three starters for the team scored at least 11 points. Indiana was the better shooting team with a 45.3 FG% compared to Nebraska’s 40.3%, but turnovers were their undoing with 19 on the night. Indiana had their four-game winning streak snapped in the loss to Nebraska moving their Big Ten W/L record to 9-8.

Ohio State at Indiana Prediction 2/23/18

After starting 13-1 in conference action, the Buckeyes have lost two of their last three, and a win over Rutgers isn't a signal to me that they've turned the corner. The Hoosiers may have gone into their latest a 66-57 against Nebraska a little too full of themselves after putting together a nice four-game winning streak and were careless turning the ball over 19 times! I look for them to rebound with a superior effort in this game with the return to Branch McCracken Court. Indiana has played well at home in Big Ten matches going 6-2 with losses to Purdue and Michigan State and is a perfect 8-0 against the spread. The host has been shooting the ball exceptionally well with a 51.9 FG% over the last five games which could be an issue for an Ohio State team that has seen a drop off in their defensive play in recent games.
