Seton Hall vs. Indiana State 7:00 PM ET
Game# 681-682
Play On: Indiana State -3.0
This NIT Championship Game will technically be played on a neutral floor. But, for all intents and purposes it might as well be an Indiana State home game based on the huge throng of Sycamore fans at their team’s NIT semifinal game at Hinkle Field House in Indianapolis, Indiana. The drive from their campus in Terre Haute to Indianapolis is just 76 miles and 75 minutes. That must be considered when handicapping this contest.
Regarding the level of competition that each team has faced in the NIT thus far. Indiana State has far and away played a more difficult level of opponents. Both teams were 1 of the last 4 teams left out of the NCAA Tournament by the committee. However, with all things being equal I firmly believe that a mid-major team like Indiana State will be the one with a bigger chip on their shoulder versus their power conference opponent. The oddsmakers seemingly agree with my stance as evidenced by them making Indiana State a favorite in this contest. Give me Indiana State minus points.
