In the last game against Oregon, they scored 80 points, and they ended up winning by four points. At halftime, they were up 41-36 and they never looked back.

There were five different players that put up at least 12 points.

Why Michigan Will Beat Indiana

• Indiana has lost each of its last four games.
• Indiana has lost the first half in nine of its last 10 Saturday games against the Big Ten Conference.

Indiana Has Some Problems 

Indiana has some problems heading into this game and that starts with Mike Woodson leaving the program after this year. It’s not all that shocking, though, with the way they have been playing on the court. Indiana has lost four games in a row and they are having some major issues. In the last game against Wisconsin, they scored only 64 points while the defense gave up 76 points. Even though they lost, Mackenzie Mgbako put up 15 points and four rebounds. He has been one of the only bright spots for this team.

The offense is ranked 117th in the league while the defense is ranked 243rd in college basketball. Oumar Ballo is averaging 14 points while shooting 65 percent from the field. 

Michigan vs Indiana Prediction

Michigan is going to go on the road and they are going to make another statement. Michigan is averaging 82.2 points per game and they are going to put on a show here. Indiana is going to have no answer, and I just don’t trust their offense. This is a team that looks like they are all but checked out, and this game isn’t going to be one where they are magically checked back in again. Back Michigan against the spread here.
