Total: 148.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
My best bet for Friday's NCAAB slate of games is on the under at 148.5 in the Indiana-Ohio State game.
Both teams come into this game with little momentum, as Indiana was blown out by Iowa and Illinois, and Ohio State has lost three of its last four, with the lone win a double-OT victory over Minnesota (who threw away the game by not knowing the score and accidentally fouling OSU despite being up two points with only a few seconds left, allowing the Buckeyes to send the game to OT with free throws).
I don't predict either team dominating on the offensive end, which could result in a competitive, but ugly rockfight. These teams are 59th and 69th in Haslametrics' defensive efficiency rating, and both rank very low (330th and 361st nationally) in "Paper Tiger Factor," which measures how teams perform vs. good competition and how they play vs. poor competition. There may be value on the Hoosiers' side to cover with the spread at seven, but I feel the best way to wager this matchup is on the total, as I find it unlikely either team looks significantly better than they have recently.
