Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview
The Indiana Hoosiers won 19 games last season and begin the Darian DeVries era. Indiana has made the big dance twice since the 2016-17 season.
Jordan Rayford is the only returning player for Indiana, and he played one minute last season. To say this is a new roster with a new coaching staff would be an understatement. The good news is Indiana snagged Tucker DeVries from West Virginia and Tayton Conerway from Troy. DeVries was a two-time MVC Player of the Year at Drake and was Iowa Mr. Basketball in 2021. Conerway was the Sun Belt Player of the Year at Troy last season and was the Sun Belt Sixth Man of the Year in 2024. Those two players give Indiana an instant boost.

Alabama A&M vs Indiana Prediction
Indiana is the more talented team, but it’s also breaking in a new roster and new coaching staff. It’s going to take time to get rolling. Alabama A&M had the privilege of getting a game out of the way, which knocks off the jitters and should lead to a cleaner performance. Also, this is an experienced Alabama A&M roster, with just one freshman and two sophomores. These guys shouldn’t be scared of the moment, given the years under the belt. I’ll take a shot with Alabama A&M and the points.
