Providence vs Indiana Prediction

It's hard to get behind the Indiana Hoosiers with confidence with the lack of defense they've shown in their last two games. Indiana is getting scored on at an alarming rate. However, I also mentioned yesterday that Providence was overrated and gave out Davidson, which the Wildcats won outright as 5.5-point underdogs. Defensive issues or not, there's more talent on this Indiana roster and the offense is light-years in better shape. The line is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Indiana Hoosiers for the win and cover.
