The Miami (Ohio) Redhawks (5-2) visit the Indiana Hoosiers (6-2) in a Friday night contest in Bloomington. The opening tip at Assembly Hall will be at 7 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Miami vs. Indiana odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
Miami totes a 3-game win streak across the state line and into Assembly Hall, as the Redhawks take on the Hoosiers for a second time in in 3 seasons. MU’s last game was Monday, a home tilt that saw the Redhawks cover a 6.5-point spread in a 73-60 victory over the Air Force Falcons. Miami shot a season-high 56.6% from the field in that game.
Indiana’s last game was Tuesday when it pounded Sam Houston Bearkats 97-71 to cover as a 13-point favorite. The Hoosiers also hit a season-best in shooting in that most recent contest, shoting 61.8% in scoring their most points since Dec. 29 (100 vs. the Kennesaw State Owls). IU is 5-0 at home this season, and since last season the Hoosiers have won 7 in a row on home hardwood.

Miami at Indiana picks and predictions
Prediction
Indiana 83, Miami 67
Moneyline
No interest. PASS.
Against the spread
Miami is 9-5 ATS in its last 14 games as a road underdog. Indiana is 1-6 over its last 7 home games when lined as a favorite of 15 points or more.
MU was tagged with an ATS loss at the Michigan Wolverines a few weeks back (Nov. 18), but the Redhawks were hanging tough in that game through a half. Michigan hit 14 triples in the eventual 94-67 rout.
IU had a couple of ATS losses in November games that fit as comps here, and even Tuesday’s ATS win over Sam Houston was lacking much of the way.
Two years back (Nov. 20, 2022) the Hoosiers whipped Miami 86-56, but this MU squad has more going for it. And perhaps Indiana, which opens Big Ten play Monday, eases off the gas in some rest-and-clock-the-game mode late. Some defensive analytics also make for a regression lean against IU’s defensive efficiency.
TAKE MIAMI +17.5 (+100).
Over/Under
Indiana has logged 3 home games when lined as a 15-or-more-point favorite, and the Under hit in each case.
The pace in this game sets up as well above average. Miami will certainly need to bomb away from distance to really be any sort of threat, but IU’s perimeter defense is quite good and has been improving over recent games.
Don’t expect a lot of free throws either. Peg the UNDER 151.5 (-105) as the value side.
