After seeing that Gordon hurt his hand yesterday I made my play on Wisc plus they are at home...yes the injury is to his non shooting hand, but it will affect his play and dribble...
No. 11 Indiana plays No. 13 Wisconsin with banged-up Gordon
ESPN.com news services
Indiana freshman phenom Eric Gordon has met every challenge so far this season. The red-hot Hoosiers are hoping he can handle the next one -- playing hurt.
Gordon's father told the Indianapolis Star on Wednesday that his son came down hard going for a rebound in practice on Tuesday and put out his non-shooting hand to break his fall.
"He did injure his wrist, but there's no swelling," Eric Gordon Sr. said, according to the newspaper. "He's going to be able to play. What they'll probably do is put some protective padding on it, and he'll play."
Gordon's father said his son will likely have to wear the padding for several weeks.
The No. 11 Hoosiers travel to Madison to face No. 13 Wisconsin on Thursday (9 p.m., ESPN).
Indiana (17-2) is off to its best 19-game start since 1992-93, in large part due to Gordon.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard entered the week leading the Big Ten in scoring (21.7 points per game), has taken more free throws (144) and made more free throws (122) than any other conference player and ranks fifth in 3-pointers per game (2.6).Comment -
I think Wisky wins a real close one. Not sure they cover but think they win. IU will want to bounce back after being humiliated but Wisky is at home and tough to beat there. Look for this one to come down to the final 30 seconds with the big red dubya gettin' the dubya. 63-61 Wisky to win.Comment -
I feel good about Wisconsin winning...but by how much ?? It could be a 6 pt game..Indiana hits a 3 and kills a play on the spread...I hate spreads with conference games where both teams are this good.....I only feel good about the win..but if Gordon starts off 1-6...3-11 something where you know he's struggling with the hand..then IMO Wisc will roll...Comment -
I like Wisconsin comfortably here. Wiscy is 103-6 straight up at home under Ryan, with only two of those losses coming to Big Ten teams (both times Illinois). I also thinj that Indiana is overrated, and while they are 6-0 in conference, a check of the standoings shows that the six teams they beat are currently the bottom six teams in the conference.
