The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has looked really good in their games this season with their 23-8 record overall and their 12-8 conference record which has them in the top half of the Big Ten. They are ranked inside the top 25 at the moment and they have looked great in their neutral site games this season, going 4-0 in those. Meanwhile, Indiana has looked good in their games this season with their 19-12 record overall and their 10-10 conference record which has them right in the middle of the Big Ten. They haven't been great in neutral site games though as they are 1-2 in those. Indiana looked dead in the water a few weeks ago, but they have been getting hot over the last 2 weeks and have put themselves in a position to make the NCAA Tournament. They are 4-1 in their last 5 games and are coming off a win over Ohio State in their last one which was huge for the bubble, but their only loss in their last 5 games also came against Oregon. Oregon has also been starting to roll lately and they have a lot more momentum on their side with 7 wins in a row now. Oregon also had a much tougher schedule to end the regular season while Indiana was beating up on bottom feeders. Indiana needs this game more to make the tournament, but Oregon has been rolling and they don't want to lose any momentum going into the NCAA Tournament. Oregon also beat Indiana by 9 points a week ago and should have no problem doing it again here. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game.

"Maybe I'm leaving too soon. I don't know. This brings back old memories. My last game on this floor [as a player] was against Ohio State for the Big Ten title back in 1980. For these seniors, this is what it's all about because they don't get another shot at it.” - Mike Woodson after his team’s win against OSU in their last game of the regular season. 

"I don't know why. I'm not retiring. If the school, Rob Mullens, and the President decide it's my time, it's my time. Guys, I love coming to work every day. So as long as I am healthy, I'd like to coach. But I said, maybe they know something I don't." - Dana Altman on the rumors of him retiring.
