In their latest, Indiana was at home where they battled hard throughout against the No. 3 ranked Purdue but came up short losing 74-67. The seven-point margin by the Boilermakers was below their -8.5 handicap giving Hoosiers the point spread win. The 141 combined points in the match fell below the 144 O/U line resulting in an UNDER for totals bettors. Juwan Morgan was the high scorer for the Hoosiers with 24 points on 10/18 shooting, and Robert Johnson was the only other player for the team to go for double figures with 21 points. Isaac Haas was the high scorer for the Boilermakers with 26 points on 10/17 shooting. Purdue trailed by two at that the half and used a strong second half out-scoring Indiana nine points in the 2nd half. For the game, they shot an excellent 50% from the floor against an outstanding Boilermaker defense while Purdue shot 48.2%. The Hoosiers has lost two in a row and three of their last four games. In Big Ten games they’re 5-5 included in that number is a 1-4 record on the road against the spread.

Ohio State was upset at home in their last game falling to Penn State 82-79. The Buckeyes failed to cover the -9.5 point spread and OVER bettors didn’t have to sweat this game with total surging past the closing total line by 21 points. Keita Bates-Diop was the high scorer for the Buckeyes with 25 points on 8/13 shooting and every starter for the squad went for double figures. Tony Carr was the top scorer for the Nittany Lions going for 28 points on 10/14 shooting hitting four of his five 3-pointers. The defense wasn't either club's strong point with Ohio State shooting 56% from the floor and Penn State shooting 58.3% and a ridiculous 3-pt FG% of 78.6%. The loss by the Buckeyes broke off an eight-game winning streak and marked the first loss in a conference game this season.
