UT Chattanooga at Indiana

Indiana plays its best defense at home for Coach Tom Crean. As we saw in the opener, they allowed 42% shooting in a win over Stony Brook. The UNDER is 7-3 in the Hoosiers’ last 10 games overall, and 5-1 UNDER the total in their last six home games. A year ago they allowed an average of 52 points in their first five games (all at home). They have the luxury of taking on a Chattanooga team that has yet to play a game. The UNDER is 8-2 in the Moccasins' last 10 non-conference games. This is a good Chattanooga team that returns four starters from the Southern Conference North Division Co-Champs, so they know what it takes to play tough defense. The UNDER is 4-1 in their last five road games, 4-1 UNDER in their last five games as a road underdog and they carry a 7-2 run to the UNDER the total from last season into this one. I see a defensive battle and this total is far too high. Take the UNDER.
