Indiana basketball-Minnesota prediction

Zach Osterman, IndyStar: Indiana 81-70

Indiana’s been struggling for consistent effort and focus virtually since the season began. The Hoosiers have too often been susceptible to the kinds of lulls that lead to momentum swings and make things harder than they need to be. That said, offense in all its forms has been an almighty struggle for Minnesota thus far, and IU is at home. Hoosiers win, if slightly stressfully.
