Oregon vs Indiana Prediction
I’m on Indiana here. I was initially on Oregon with how the Ducks came on strong to close out the season, but Indiana is the only team really on the bubble right now. A couple of wins in the Big Ten tournament would go a long way towards securing their spot in the Big Dance. The Hoosiers you could argue should’ve won that game against Oregon in the first meeting, and the Hoosiers have the benefit of this being a de facto home game being in Indianapolis. I think the Hoosiers get the job done here and I’ll roll with Indiana in this one.
