Indiana basketball prediction
Zach Osterman, IndyStar: Indiana 90-58
Eastern struggled at Illinois and will struggle at IU. The Hoosiers should look a little more polished than they did against SIU-Edwardsville, particularly offensively. With a few more scores and a couple turnovers lopped off the top, Indiana looks more efficient and wins better than it did Wednesday night.
