I am digging into this game today. Here are my pros and cons. IU on the road is not IU at Assembly Hall, and this is very apparent early in the season. Traveling out east, even on the jet, may prove unsettling for this young hoosier team. Now I know that Washington had to fly in as well, I am trying to find out if they came in a day early or arrived this morning, that will make a difference to them. Its a late game for IU (9:30 PM home court time) vs. early game for Washington (6:30 PM home court time) this will give a slight body edge to the Huskies, but I do not know where their sophomore and junior with injuries are in the depth chart yet. I have this coming in at IU 84 U of W 71, with a 8.5 point spread handed to Washington and I am still at a 10% disadvantage due to lack of data, I feel I may have to roll with Washington and the points and look to IU to win by 6. Any intel on Washington depth chart would be helpful as I do not see too much of the Pac 12 here in the Midwest.

I am staying away from this one. I just didn't see an advantage for any team . Bet Clemson -3 I think it has more value.Comment -
Juan- going over. Washington putting up points with 3 guard offense. It's perfect for IU's up tempo plan. Time will play no factor. A zone defense will be where IU will struggle until the 3 gunners arrive next year. GL!Comment -
Just checked the latest total and it is sitting at 170 and 8 pts going to the Huskies. I can not see this game getting that high. No fan support, low energy. I am not picking on Indy5, but that is a tall order. I have looked at travel, and do believe this will impact play, but not as significant as earlier generated. I am calling IU 87 U of W 74 and putting 2 units on IU and 1 unit on the under.Comment -
Indy at home let a Stony Brook drop 74 on them. Wash should do better. Washington is happily letting their opponents to shoot almost 50%. The already insane total has been rising. Good chance that's sharp money.
I'm on the OverComment -
So much for travel and lack of energy. Way to call that over, now it's time to get to work on tomorrow's games including IU v UCONN. Nice win for my Hoosiers.Comment -

I am just getting ready to post my write up. NEVER go with my early feel on IU, cuz I always think they will win.
