Indiana started off well this season, but the Hoosiers have lost six of their past 10. They did snap a three-game skid Saturday, beating Wisconsin 63-45. The Badgers helped out by shooting a miserable 32.1 percent from the field and Indiana will have a much tougher time against Illinois, which averages 76.8 points and a .463 field goal percentage overall and 80.7 and .475 at home. Illinois has won four in a row and covered the number in all of them, including 78-60 at Minnesota on Monday when the Fighting Illini shot 50 percent and held the Golden Gophers to 36.2 percent shooting. Matthew Mayer led the Illini with 19 points and he has scored in double figures nine of his past 10 games. The Hoosiers are 1-7 ATS their past eight games and 1-6 ATS overall versus teams with winning records. Take Illinois.
