College Basketball Betting Picks and Predictions: Army Black Knights vs. Indiana Hoosiers

November 12, 2023



The Army Golden Knights will travel to Bloomington, Indiana to face the Indiana Hoosiers on Sunday evening at the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 PM ET, and the game will air on the Big Ten Network.

Army has struggled to start the season as they have lost both of their games to start the season with a loss at home against Marist Red Foxes by a score of 55-71 and on the road against the Stonehill College Skyhawks by a score of 44-57 and are being outscored by their opponents by an average of 49.5 to 64 points per game this season. The Black Knights finished last season with a record of 17-16 including a record of 10-8 in the Patriot Conference which led to a 4th place finish in the conference. The Army Black Knights defeated the Boston Terriers in the Quarterfinals by a score of 71-69 in overtime before being eliminated from the Conference Tournament by the Colgate Raiders in the Semifinals by a score of 74-91 which led to the Black Knights not receiving an invite to any postseason tournament.

The Indiana Hoosiers have a storied history in college basketball and have started this season with a record of 1-0 following a 69-63 win at home against the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles by a score of 69-63, however, they failed to cover the 14.5-point spread as a home favorite. The Hoosiers have made the NCAA the last two seasons and finished last year with a record of 23-12 and a record of 12-8 in Big Ten Conference play which led to a tie with the Northwestern Wildcats for 2nd place in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers were eliminated from the Big Ten Conference Tournament in the Semifinals by the Penn State Nittany Lions by a score of 73-77 after defeating the Maryland Terrapins in the Quarterfinals by a score of 70-60 and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament as a 4 seed and defeated the Kent State Golden Flashes in the 1st round of the tournament by a score of 71-60 before losing to the Miami Hurricanes in the 2nd round by a score of 69-85.

BookMaker has the Indiana Hoosiers listed as 25-point favorites at home against the Army Black Knights on Sunday evening. This will be the first time in the history of these two programs that they will face each other in college basketball. The Army Black Knights are 0-2 ATS overall, 0-2 ATS as an underdog, and 0-1 ATS on the road while the Indiana Hoosiers are 0-1 ATS overall, 0-1 ATS as a favorite, and 0-1 ATS at home.

These teams are a combined 0-3 ATS to start the season, however, Indiana is the more talented team and is projected to be one of the best teams in the Big Ten Conference while Army isn’t projected to do much this season. I look for Indiana’s talent to be too much for the Army Black Knights to handle, which is why I am laying the points with the Indiana Hoosiers when they host the Army Black Knights on Sunday evening.
