Why is Indiana and Minnesota line so low?

mistermatt891 · 02-26-13, 01:16 PM

has me really nervous

figured if anything that spread would get higher not lower

-5 seems too good to be true

Indiana has covered 10 first halves in a row. Minnesota looked like crap against Ohio state. I don't get it

Minnesota's been playing very poorly, but they still have a lot of talent and also own a great home-court advantage. They made Indiana nervous there at the end of their first meeting too. I think the best play here is the OVER, but I'm not shocked by this spread.

Rodney is back and will get a lot more playing time, If Dre doesn't get into foul trouble early, MN can keep it close. I am a big Gophers fan, but I don't think even if they step up their game from where they have been, they can win tonight. Earlier in the year, they would have gave them a run for their money. The BARN is a tough place to play, but Indiana is just too good. I think they will win by 4 or 5, they will be up by 10 with a few minutes left, MN will make a run to bring it close but wont have enough in the end.

I agree- the spread is not shocking at all. Indy -5 seems like a great play,but I'm passing for the full game. There may be a play for the 2nd half. The over as you mentioned looks nice. Thoughts Indy 79- Minny 63

That seems to be a very strong pick. GL if you decide to hit it.

+1 for the indiana tt bet. Hit that when it dropped to +5

Agree with mtc. I feel like a last second cover via free throws may be inevitible & lean IU though

I just don't think Minnesota can shoot. They have a team full of very athletic players that can't shoot jumpers very well. Mbakwe shouldn't be an issue with Zeller in the middle. Yogi is coming along nicely for IU at the point. IU's biggest problem is turnovers, but Minnesota gives up just as many (or more). I think the odds of this being a DD win for IU are much better than the odds of Minnesota winning the game. Minnesota just has a hard time keeping up with teams that can shoot the three and take care of the ball (Mich, IU, *Northwestern*).

The answer? So the books could bait tons of Indiana backers and clean house. Fun game to watch.

that was a tough one

minnesota looked terrible for a month and then beat the best team in the country
