UNC Greensboro at Indiana picks and predictions
Prediction
Indiana 84, UNC Greensboro 64
Moneyline
This Hoosiers team really hasn’t been tested yet, but it looks multi-dimensional and lethal. There’s no play on the ML, but there is a prop bet that jumps off the page.
Take MACKENZIE MGBAKO OVER 5.5 REBOUNDS (+105). He has 7, 7 and 9 boards in the 3 games thus far. BetMGM has a 20% odds boost token to toss on it to make it +126.
Against the spread
IU is 2-1 ATS thus far, covering spreads of -8.5 and -27 but failing to cover a -26.5 against SIU Edwardsville. This is a big spread, but IU showed no mercy to South Carolina, closing it out by 16 as an 8.5-point fave.
Greensboro is 112th in the nation in defensive rating. It doesn’t shoot particularly well, and it isn’t real formidable on offense overall at 80 PPG (T-149th).
Take INDIANA -17.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Greensboro is 3-0 O/U thus far, and IU is just 1-2. Those 2 Under cashes were against 2 really small schools, so I don’t put a lot of stock into those. It really boils down to whether IU can score enough to push this across. And I think it barely makes it over.
LEAN OVER 145.5 (-110).
