Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles vs Indiana Hoosiers Predictions

Tennessee Tech’s shooting tests a large spread

Indiana University Athletics reports that Tennessee Tech has averaged 100.7 points and 15 made three-pointers through three games. That production matters with Indiana favored by 25.5 points, although the small sample doesn't establish that the Golden Eagles can maintain it on the road.

Caleb Sanders leads Tennessee Tech with 18.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Five other Golden Eagles average at least 11 points, giving the 2-1 underdog several scoring options as it tries to stay within the number.

Indiana has the stronger case to win

Indiana enters its home game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall at 3-0 after beating Syracuse 83-80 on Nov. 9. Darren Harris and Markus Burton scored 20 points apiece in that victory, while Jaeden Mustaf added 18 points and seven rebounds.

The Hoosiers should win, but their -9000 moneyline offers little return. Laying 25.5 points requires more confidence than the available early-season results provide.

Betting outlook

The total is 169.5. Both teams have shown scoring ability, but there is no supporting defensive data or confirmed lineup information for this matchup. That leaves too much uncertainty to back the spread or total, so the betting lean is Pass.
