Indiana vs. USC Key Player to Watch
- Lamar Wilkerson, G - Indiana Hoosiers
Indiana's offense goes through Lamar Wilkerson. He's leading the team in points, averaging 19.6 per game, which is 5.5 points more than any other player on the Hoosiers. He's also averaging 3.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. He's coming off a 24-point performance in Indiana's overtime win against UCLA, and he has now reached 24+ points in two of his last three games.
Indiana vs. USC Prediction and Pick
In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm betting the UNDER in tonight's Big Ten showcase:
The defensive strengths for both Indiana and USC match up well with what the other team does well offensively in this game. USC ranks 70th in two-point shot rate, and now they have to face an Indiana team that ranks 34th in two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting 46.9% from down low.
The opposite is true on the flip side of things. 51.8% of Indiana's shots come from three-point range, and now the Hoosiers have to face the Trojans, who rank 14th in opponent three-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting just 29.4% from the perimeter.
With the total set in the 150s, I'm going to bet the UNDER.
Pick: UNDER 151.5 (-105)
