Indiana vs Minnesota College Basketball Betting Preview
Tonight's Big Ten showdown at Williams Arena pits the No. 22 Indiana Hoosiers (7-0) against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-4) in a matchup that's lighting up the boards with lopsided public action on the favorite.
Indiana rolls in off a blowout 100-56 dismantling of Bethune-Cookman on Nov. 29, fueled by Tucker DeVries' efficient 20 points (6-of-12 from the field, 5-of-10 from 3) and Lamar Wilkerson's 18 points off the bench.
But that dominant win has casuals hammering the -9.5 to the tune of 72% of tickets, pushing the line up from -7.5 amid the undefeated hype.
The Hoosiers' road efficiency holds firm, as they're holding foes to 62.4 points overall while allowing 9.1 turnovers forced.
In this moderate spread range, they've gone just 2-4 ATS as double-digit road favorites over the last two seasons.
Minnesota, meanwhile, enters after a hard-fought 86-75 loss to Santa Clara on Nov. 28, snapping a would-be upset bid where Cade Tyson erupted for 29 points (12-14 FT) and six boards. The Gophers' up-tempo attack (16.5 APG) generated 14 fast-break points despite a thin rotation.
Their defense ranks top-100 in adjusted efficiency at home, with Jaylen Crocker-Johnson (11.7 PPG, 10.5 RPG) dominating the glass for a +4.8 rebounding edge in Williams Arena that keeps games within 7.2 points on average.
This is peak Evan Abrams' Bet Labs "Low Bet Team in a High Bet Game" territory: In high-volume spots like tonight's prime-time slot, public bias floods the favorite, inflating spreads and undervaluing the underdog.
Teams like the Gophers, drawing just 28% of bets, cover at a 58% clip in these contrarian setups over three seasons, especially with faster paces boosting variance.
My Pick: Minnesota +9
