Indiana has fallen on hard times, having lost six of its last seven games, including a heartbreaking 75-74 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday. The Hoosiers shot only 34.7 percent and made just 7-of-27 three-point attempts with Justin Blackmon Jr. scoring a team-leading 22 points. Indiana wasted a good defensive effort as it held the Golden Gophers to 38.7 percent shooting. Iowa had won three straight before losing its next three, including in double overtime at Minnesota and then at Michigan State and at home against Illinois. Peter Jok scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against the Fighting Illini, but his team couldn't overcome its .389 shooting percentage for the game. The Hawkeyes are 7-3-1 ATS their last 11 home contests and 8-2 ATS the last 10 meetings at home against the Hoosiers. Both teams average 80 points per game this season and the Hawkeyes have gone OVER in four of their last five home games. Take Iowa and the OVER.
