The Pick:
- Indiana opened as betting favorites thanks to their upsets of Michigan and Illinois to reach the Big Ten semi-finals.
- The Cowboys are 4-5 in their last nine games and haven’t won a game against an NCAA tournament team since beating Boise State 72-65 on February 3rd
- The battle could be decided in the paint as both 6’9″ forwards Jackson-Davis and Ike (mentioned above) are the keys to their teams’ offense.
- The Hoosiers are 8th in the nation in 2-point field goal defense and 15th in blocks, which should make it tough on Ike to establish himself and gives the Hoosiers an edge.
