Northwestern vs. Indiana Prediction

Northwestern went into Indiana a month ago and knocked off the Hoosiers, and they are hopeful of sweeping the regular season series tonight with a home win. These teams will both be tournament teams come March without much of a doubt. The Wildcats are fresh off their biggest win of the year when they knocked off the number one team in the nation on Sunday, defeating Purdue.

Northwestern has been led by senior guard Boo Buie. Buie has led the team in scoring, and he is the heartbeat of this team. Fellow senior Chase Audige has also turned in an outstanding year for the Wildcats averaging 15.1 points per game.

The Hoosiers, meanwhile, enter play ranked number fourteen in the nation. The Hoosiers are playing their best basketball of the season at the moment, winning seven of their last eight games. One of those wins includes beating Purdue on their home floor. Trayce Jackson-Davis is turning in an outstanding season leading the team in scoring with 20.2 points per game. TJD is also averaging 11.3 rebounds per game, as he has been a walking double-double. The Hoosiers faithful are excited about this team, and it feels like they can go on a legitimate run come March. 

I am backing Indiana tonight on the moneyline. This is a Hoosier's line in my eyes and I am going to trust the line here. The Hoosiers lost the first meeting and I believe that this is a great revenge spot tonight. The Hoosiers are the better team playing with supreme confidence at the moment. Lastly, Northwestern is fresh off winning their biggest game in years and this could be a good letdown spot tonight. Let’s cash in!
