Indiana vs Charlotte Prediction
Indiana rolls into this matchup after blowing out their first three opponents and they have looked very good early in the season. The Hoosiers just beat UCLA on the road by 29 points and they have scored 42 and 77 in their last two games. Charlotte barely defeated Gardner Webb in their last game, which is not a good sign coming into this game. I expect the Indiana offense to roll right along in this game and I think they could hit this total on their own. Take the over here.
