College Basketball Picks: Indiana Hoosiers vs Northwestern Wildcats PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 23 February 2008

After a huge College Basketball Picks win over Purdue the Indiana Hoosiers travel to take on the Northwestern Wildcats in Big-10 Conference Play.  The Hoosiers might have won the big game versus Purdue but it was the last game that head coach Kelvin Sampson will ever coach for them.  Sampson resigned yesterday after a horrible nine day process where he was cited by the NCAA for five major violations, including the non observance of restrictions that were imposed on the Hoosiers because of his previous infractions while at Oklahoma.  The Hoosiers will be led today instead by interim coach Dan Dakich.  It will be interesting to see who suits up today for the Hoosiers as several players skipped Dakich’s first practice and have threatened not to play today.  The threat of a diminished Indiana team hasn’t seem to affect the line in this one as the Hoosiers are listed as a large -13 point road favorite at Bodog.com.   

Regardless of who plays for Indiana the Northwestern Wildcats certainly aren’t a College Basketball Picks threat as they come into this one in last place in the Big-10.  The Wildcats are only 7-17 SU overall including going winless in the Big-10 at 0-13 SU.  Northwestern has lost six straight games and three straight to the Hoosiers.  The Wildcats certainly don’t seem to be a scoring threat today as they average only 62.5 points per game overall.  However, they potentially could pose a problem at home today as their scoring does improve over 6 points on their home floor to 68.2.  On their earlier matchup the Wildcats were able to shoot almost 48% from the floor against the Hoosiers. Their defense will need to step it up against a sharp shooting Indiana team as the Wildcats have allowed their opponents to shoot a very high 50% from the field including 42% from beyond the arc.   

Things certainly don’t look good for Northwestern as history tells us that they are 9-24 ATS in home games after failing to cover 2 of their last 3 against the spread since 1997.  However, consider that the fallout of the Kelvin Sampson has yet to be determined and Indiana is only 5-16 ATS in February games over the last 3 seasons.
