NCAA-B | Minnesota vs Indiana
Play on: Indiana -6 -115 at linepros
My free play is on Indiana at 9:00 ET.
Richard Pitino is in his eighth season at Minnesota. He led the Gophers to the NIT championship in his first season (2013-14) but over the last six seasons, Minnesota has made just two NCAA appearances (2017 and 2019), while going a combined 56-71 (.441) over the other four. The Gophers opened 9-1 in Pitino's 8th season and were 10-2 after 12 games. However, Minnesota enters this contest 13-8 overall, including 6-8 in the Big Ten. Archie Miller spent six years at Dayton, winning 20-plus games in five seasons. Over his final four at the school, the Flyers averaged 25.5 wins per season and went to four straight NCAA tourneys. He got the Indiana job beginning with the 2017-18 season and was just 16-15 and 19-16. However, last year's team was 20-12 before the season was "called off." Indiana has NOT built on last season's improvement and comes into this contest 11-9 overall, including 6-7 in the Big Ten.
Minnesota PG Carr (19.4-0.1-5.2) ranks with the best in the nation and has been aided by THREE transfers, 7-0 Liam Robbins (12.6 & 7.1) from Drake, the 6-6 Gach (7.8 & 4.2) from Utah and the 6-8 Johnson (8.7 & 6.4) from Western Michigan. Plus, don't dismiss returning junior guard Kalescheur, who's adding 9.2 PPG, or freshman guard Mashburn (6.1 PPG). Of concern lately has been center Robbins (ankle) and guard Gach (foot) being limited by injury.
Gone from last year's Indiana team are Devontae Green (13.5 & 8.4) who graduated and the 6-7 Justin Smith (10.4 & 5.2), who transferred to Arkansas. This year's team is led by the 6-9 Jackson-Davis (19.6 & 9.4) and the 6-8 Thompson (9.9 & 6.5) up front plus in the backcourt, it's sophomore Franklin (12.2 & 4.7), senior Durham (11.2)) and junior Phinisee (7.3).
The Hoosiers are just 5-4 at home this season but Minnesota is 0-7 away from their Williams Arena home, with SIX of those losses coming by double-digits! Enough said. Lay the points.
Good luck...Larry
