In this article, we will formulate an Indiana vs UNC Greensboro prediction for this college basketball game on Thursday, November 21st, at the Bloomington Assembly Hall.
Dominant Start for Indiana
It has been a dominant start for Indiana, especially with their win in the last game. Indiana has won each of their first three games of the season and in the last game against South Carolina, Indiana scored 87 points and they ended up winning by 16 points.
As a team Indiana shot 51 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from behind the three-point line. Guard Myles Rice had a strong game putting up 23 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Indiana is averaging 85.7 points while their defense is giving up 66.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 62nd in the league while the defense is ranked 45th in the league.
UNC Greensboro Has Been Up and Down
UNC Greensboro has only played three games so far this year but it has been up and down this season. Two games ago against SMU, UNC Greensboro scored 68 points but the defense gave up 81 points. In the last game against NC Wesleyan, UNC Greensboro bounced back scored 99 points and they ended up cruising to the blowout victory. Akrum Ahemad put up 16 points, four rebounds, and one assist. UNC Greensboro is averaging 80 points while their defense is giving up 66.3 points per game.
The offense is ranked 151st in the league while the defense is ranked 101st. If the Spartans want to find success in this game they are going to need the offense to get out to a fast start. If the offense struggles, this could be a long game.
Indiana vs UNC Greensboro Prediction
I expect UNC Greensboro is going to find a way to keep this game close. UNC Greensbro’s offense is going to have no issue running up the score here, and that is going to be the difference here. Indiana will still win and they will probably win by 10 points or so, but this is too many points to lay with the Hoosiers. Back UNC Greensboro to cover the spread here.
