Indiana vs Illinois Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks for Big Ten Tournament
In the previous matchup between these two teams this season, Illinois emerged victorious thanks to a big run in the second half on their way to a 74-57 victory. Illinois’ offense is tough to stop when center Kofi Cockburn is rolling and he has been on fire as of late. If the Hoosiers stand a chance to win, they need to limit his production.
Indiana needed a miraculous comeback to beat Michigan to make it this far. With all the energy they had to spend physically and emotionally just to win one game, it’s hard to see them able to run it back against a much better Illinois team. Indiana will need to be hot from the field to stay in this game and it should be questioned how much magic they have left. Illinois should keep them at arm’s length in the first half before pulling away for good late and winning by double digits.
