The Bellarmine Knights and the Indiana Hoosiers meet Thursday in college basketball action from the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. 

Bellarmine Knights vs. Indiana Hoosiers Prediction

I’m on Indiana in this game. I just don’t think the Bellarmine Knights have what it takes to hang with Indiana for a full 40 minutes or even 20 minutes. Indiana has added scoring depth with Burton from last season and while Indiana hasn’t consistently been a team that blows inferior competition out of the water under DeVries, I think that the Hoosiers still have enough in the tank here to get the win when all is said and done. Give me Indiana.
