Eastern Illinois at Indiana

Eastern Illinois was 18-15 and 18-13 ATS as coach Jay Spoonhour's team got to the CollegeInsider.com Invitational and beat Oakland. Two of his players transferred and Spoonhour now has replaced them with three new transfers. Indiana was 20-14 and 16-17 ATS and got a huge break when its top three players decided not to declare for the NBA draft. Yogi Ferrell, James Blackmon Jr., and Troy Williams give Indiana fans high hopes for this season. Also, 6-10 freshman Thomas Bryant will give the Hoosiers extra muscle in the frontcourt. The Hoosiers need some defensive improvement to challenge for the Big 10 title and 6-8 Max Bielfeldt, who transferred from Michigan, will help there. Look for Indiana to overwhelm Eastern Illinois and lay the big points. Play on Indiana.
