What to Know

The Indiana Hoosiers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and are hoping to record their first win since March 10 of 2019. IU and RU will face off in a Big Ten battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers should still be feeling good after a victory, while RU will be looking to regain their footing.

IU didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday, but they still walked away with an 84-79 victory. Guard Xavier Johnson was the offensive standout of the contest for IU, picking up 24 points and eight assists in addition to six rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Scarlet Knights were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 66-61 to the Wisconsin Badgers. The top scorer for RU was guard Geo Baker (19 points).

The Hoosiers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while RU have struggled against the spread on the road.

IU ended up a good deal behind RU when they played when the two teams previously met in March of last year, losing 61-50. The loss knocked IU out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at the Scarlet Knights with a vengeful fire.
