Well, that first round was fun. Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in the largest postseason comeback in program history? That’s worth celebrating.
But Indiana men’s basketball isn’t done. The Hoosiers will be back tomorrow at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to take on the No. 1 seed Illinois Fighting Illini.
The Hoosiers are +3.5 underdogs against the Illini, per DraftKings. It’ll be an uphill battle to win this one.
Indiana is well acquainted with Illinois, last year’s Big Ten Tournament Champions. The Hoosiers fell to the Illini 74-57 on Feb. 5 at Assembly Hall in Bloomington.
