Indiana and Wisconsin meet for the only time this season in a Big Ten conference game. The Hoosiers lost two in a row at Purdue and Ohio State on the road but got back on track with a home win over Rutgers. Wisconsin meanwhile continues to roll at 19-2 and a number five ranking in the AP rankings. The Badgers are indeed the big favorite in this game; however the spread is a little too high for a conference rival game.

Here are my keys to the game:

High scoring Hoosiers- The Hoosiers are 13th in the country in scoring (80.3) and 3FGM (196) and 18th in 3FGM per game (8.9) and 16th in 3FG% (40.2). Kevin Ferrell has a 53 game streak with at least one 3PT FGM which is the longest in the nation.

Underdog status- IU has five wins when not favored including Butler, Nebraska, Ohio State, Illinois and Maryland. The Hoosiers are 1-0 the last three seasons when labeled an underdog between 12.5-15 points.

X-Factor- Freshman James Blackmon, Jr., notched his 8th 20-point plus effort against Rutgers and is 3rd among all freshmen nationally with 363 points scored and 5th in three-point field goals made with 51

Selection: This is a play on Indiana (8*)
