Oregon vs Indiana Prediction
Indiana has turned its season around with three straight wins, and that makes the points worth a look. The talent has been there all season for Indiana, it’s just a matter of showing effort defensively. Indiana has allowed an average of 66 points during its three-game winning streak. However, Oregon has won five straight games and is on a heater offensively. Oregon has scored no less than 75 points in each of its last five games. Beating Penn State and Washington is one thing, it’s another to compete with Oregon on the road.
This is also senior night for an Oregon roster that’s absolutely loaded with seniors. Guys like Nate Bittle, TJ Bamba, and Keeshawn Barthelemy will be eager to end things with a victory. There’s sure to be some extra juice in the Matthew Knight Arena. I’ll lean toward Oregon at home in a comfortable victory.
