Point Spread: 6.50 | -110.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* BIG TIGER on Indiana.

REASONING: Both teams will have a bunch of fans in the stands tonight, note that this one is being played on a neutral court in Hawaii. The Hoosiers were 27-8 last year and made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tourney before falling 101-86 to NC. Kansas was 33-5 and made it to the Elite Eight before falling 64-59 to Villanova. Indiana had a big hole to fill in replacing PG Yogi Ferrell, but the team is hopeful that Pittsburgh transfer Josh Newkirk will answer the call. Also keep your eyes on James Blackmon Jr., who averaged 15.8 PPG last year. Last season Indiana ranked 11th in the country in scoring at 82.6 PPG. The Hoosiers were poor defensively, but did turn things around come tournament time. The Jayhawks have won the Big 12 title 12 years in a row. Kansas also lost some talent from last year, as Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden are gone. Frank Mason will be leaned upon heavily by the Jayhawk this season, he averaged 12.9 PPG. Last year Kansas was 16th in scoring at 81.3 PPG. Defensively they were ranked 71st int he country in allowing 67.6 PPG. Kansas may find a way to win this game outright, but we think the talent on Indiana can match pace with the high-powered Jayhawks until the final moments. Grab the points, play on the HOOSIERS.
