Indiana vs Washington Prediction 3/1/25 College Basketball Picks

The Indiana Hoosiers and Washington Huskies meet on Saturday in college basketball action at Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion. Here’s an Indiana vs Washington Prediction. This article will include an Indiana vs Washington Pick.

Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview

The Indiana Hoosiers (17-11, 15-13 ATS) went through their worst period of the season during which they lost seven out of eight games. Indiana recovered in time to win three of the next four, defeating Michigan State, Purdue, and Penn State, while the lone loss came to UCLA. The Hoosiers spent the previous three games in Indiana and now will play the next two on the road. Indiana is 9th in the Big Ten Standings with four wins ahead of Washington and six behind the top-placed Michigan State and Michigan.

Indiana averages 75.8 PPG (134th) and allows 72.8 PPG (207th). The Hoosiers are 142nd in rebounds (36.4) and 61st in assists (15.9). Oumar Ballo leads the team with 13.7 PPG, a team-high 9.4 RPG, 2.3 APG, and a team-high 1.4 BPG. Malik Reneau follows him with 12.8 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 2.1 APG, while Mackenzie Mgbako has 12.6 PPG and 4.5 RPG.

Washington Huskies Betting Preview

The Washington Huskies (13-15, 14-13 ATS) are the worst team in the Big Ten, and how they can’t be after losing 11 of the last 14 games. The Huskies beat Minnesota, Northwestern, and Penn State in that negative span, but are now on a three-game losing skid following defeats to Rutgers, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Washington will hardly move up from the bottom of the standings unless they win the remaining three games, which is unlikely to happen.

Washington is averaging 72.3 PPG (247th) and is allowing 74.6 PPG (261st). The Huskies are getting 33.0 RPG (347th) and dish out 12.7 APG (294th). Great Osobor is the team’s top scorer with 14.9 PPG, a team-high 8.4 RPG, a team-high 3.4 APG, and a team-high 1.9 SPG. Tyler Harris adds 12.0 PPG, 4.8 RPG, and 1.1 BPG, while Zoom Diallo contributes 11.1 PPG, 3.1 RPG, and 2.7 APG. 

Why the Indiana Hoosiers will win

• Washington has lost five of its last six games at Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
• Indiana has won four of its last five games following a home win.
• Washington has lost the first half in four of its last five day games at Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

Why the Washington Huskies will win

• Indiana has lost each of its last six Saturday games against Conference opponents.
• Washington has won three of its last four day games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Indiana vs Washington Prediction

Unlike Washington, Indiana still has something to play for as the Hoosiers are looking to stay in the top half of the standings before the conference tourney starts. The Huskies lost five of the previous six games at home, while the Hoosiers won two of the past five on the road, most recently against a strong Michigan State team. Indiana beat Washington 102-84 earlier this season and I am sure they can do it again. Indiana has hit the Moneyline in 21 of its last 33 games, while Washington has only hit the Moneyline in 14 of its last 31 games. Go with Indiana.
