(NCAAB) Indiana vs. Butler,
Point Spread: -8.00 | -105.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Push
Butler is coming off a 19 point loss to No. 7 Villanova on Wednesday. It was only their second game of the season after opening the season with a win over Western Michigan back on Nov. 25th. In the loss, Aaron Thompson left the game with 4:36 left after suffering a sprained knee. He leads the team with 17.5 points a game while dishing out 5.0 assists in two games. He's listed as questionable for this game. They are also playing without Christian David, Carlos Johnson, and Campbell Donovan.

The Hoosiers have played some good games this season and some bad ones also. Traycee Jackson-Davis has looked this season, and he putting up 21 points and 8.7 rebounds a game. Against FSU, he had a huge game with 25 points and 17 rebounds. As a team, they are scoring 74.2 points a game and they are shooting 45.1 percent from the field. On the defensive end, they are giving up 61.2 points and their opponents are shooting 36.9percent from the field.

One of the keys to this game is the status of Thompson. If he has a sprained knee there is no reason to play him in a non-conference game early in the season. If he is out, Butler will be down to eight players. The Bulldogs haven't looked good in either game this season. Jackson-Davis should dominate the paint and the boards and lead the Hoosiers to a win and cover,

Play on Indiana.
