The Indiana Hoosiers are on a three-game tear against Big Ten conference opponents, and their sights are set on another big night when they visit the Minnesota Golden Gophers Wednesday. The Gophers are 14th in the conference and may have expended all their energy in a close game against the Michigan Wolverines. Can the Hoosiers win their sixth game in a row overall in this rivalry, or will Minnesota pull itself together and win?

Indiana on a Roll
The Indiana Hoosiers hit a rough patch during December and early January, having lost six of nine games. What was a 7-0 start is now 13-6. However, the Hoosiers have righted the ship, thrashing No. 18 Wisconsin by a staggering 18 points while holding the Badgers to just 45. It was the first of three consecutive double-digit victories.
Indiana is looking to continue its assault on the Big Ten Wednesday as 9½-point favorite in hostile territory. It’s a significant number, but Indiana leapfrogged that number against Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan St. in consecutive games.
Indiana hasn’t been a profitable investment overall this season, but it’s trending in the right direction entering this visit to Minneapolis.
Gophers Aren’t Golden
While the Hoosiers are playing great ball against conference opponents of late, that’s not the case with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. There’s not much to say about Minnestota’1-7 record in conference.
Their lone Big Ten win of the season came against Ohio St., but don’t expect many more positive results on the horizon.
While the Golden Gophers came close against the Michigan Wolverines Sunday before losing, 60-56, the end result was a third defeat in a row. Minnesota squandered a double-digit, first-half lead, but still covered as 12½ -point underdogs. It was their first win against the spread (ATS) in three games. Minnesota was 4-2 against the spread in their previous six games.
