The Indiana Hoosiers are 3-12 ATS versus Big Ten opponents<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iowa will play three games over the next seven days and will look to snap a two-game losing streak when traveling to Bloomington to take on the Indiana Hoosiers inside Assembly Hall.\u00a0 The Hawkeyes led by as many as 11 points in their latest loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but allowed 48 points in the final 20 minutes in a 79-73 loss.\u00a0 \u201cWe couldn\u2019t get a stop when we needed it,\u201d commented Hawkeyes head coach Fran McCaffery.\u00a0 The team is averaging 73.9 points per game, which ranks fourth in the Big Ten Conference.\u00a0 Iowa is 5-4 ATS as an underdog this year.<\/p>\n

The Hawkeyes will be meeting their fifth ranked opponent thus far during the 2011-12 campaign, tallying an even 2-2 mark in the previous four contests.\u00a0 Senior guard Matt Gatens will be the go-to guy Sunday, averaging a team-high 13.2 points per game, shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 86.1 percent from the charity stripe.\u00a0 Iowa is 73-94 all-time in its series with Indiana, but has won 10 of the last 14 meetings, including a sweep in the two-game series the last two years.<\/p>\n

Indiana has dropped four of its last five games overall and has gone \u201cunder\u201d the total in two straight games.\u00a0 The Hoosiers are averaging 78.4 points per game, which is an 18.3-point improvement from averaging 60.1 points during head coach Tom Crean\u2019s first year during the 2008-09 season.\u00a0 Two of the team\u2019s three defeats this month were by a combined four points, while dropping a 57-50 contest to the Wisconsin Badgers as eight-point road underdogs last time out.\u00a0 Indiana is 6-2 ATS at home this season and the \u201cover\u201d is 5-3 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers have really stepped up their defensive intensity the last three games, holding opponents to 37.1 percent shooting from the field and 28.1 percent from beyond the arc.\u00a0 Cody Zeller is still the player to watch on the offensive end, being named Big Ten Freshman of the Week five times.\u00a0 He leads the program in averaging 14.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.\u00a0 Sophomore guard Victor Oladipo must step up his play to give Zeller help, averaging just 5.9 points in the past seven games, which is far off from this 12.2-point average through December.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Hawkeyes due to their 7-3 ATS mark versus conference opponents, while the Hoosiers are 3-12 ATS in the same situation.<\/p>\n
