Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview
The Indiana Hoosiers (19-12, 17-14 ATS) closed February and opened March in style with three consecutive wins over Purdue, Penn State, and Washington. Although they lost to Oregon on the road, the Hoosiers bounced back with a home victory over Ohio State. Indiana finished in 9th place in the Big Ten Standings with two wins behind Oregon and seven behind the No. 1 seed Michigan State.
Indiana averages 75.2 PPG (149th) and allows 72.0 PPG (187th). The Hoosiers are 133rd in rebounds (36.5) and 68th in assists (15.7). Oumar Ballo leads the team with 13.2 PPG, a team-high 9.1 RPG, 2.1 APG, and a team-high 1.3 SPG. Malik Reneau follows him with 13.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 2.0 APG, while Mackenzie Mgbako chips in 12.2 PPG and 4.5 RPG.
Oregon Ducks Betting Preview
The Oregon Ducks (23-8, 14-16-1 ATS) successfully survived their worst period of the season (late January to early February) during which they suffered five consecutive defeats, and responded with a great run of seven wins to close the regular season. The Ducks beat Northwestern, Rutgers, Iowa, Wisconsin, USC, Indiana, and Washington in that span. Oregon entered the Big Ten tournament as the No. 7 seed.
Oregon is averaging 76.7 PPG (105th) and is allowing 71.2 PPG (152nd). The Ducks are getting 35.8 RPG (176th) and dish out 14.7 APG (122nd).

Indiana vs Oregon Prediction
These teams have met only once so far and it was some ten days ago when Oregon secured a 73-64 win at home. I don't think much has changed over the past ten days and I expect a similar scenario on Thursday. Oregon is slightly better on both offense and defense and it's not a top 25 ranked team without reason. The Ducks won all three neutral site games this season, while Indiana is 1-2. Oregon has hit the Moneyline in 27 of its last 36 games. The Ducls play their best basketball of the season and I don't think the Hoosiers will stop them on the first step in teh conference tournament. Back Oregon to advance.
