Austin Peay Governors vs Indiana University Hoosiers Point Spread Picks

Austin Peay is going to have to slow this game down to a crawl, and hope that they have a decent shooting night. The Governors have shot well this year, having shot better than 50% in five games on the season. If everything breaks right, this is going to be a low-scoring and ugly game. The plucky small school has enough defensive bite to keep this one close to the total, while Indiana may not have enough to put this one over the top all by themselves. Take the UNDER in this one.

Indiana beat Eastern Illinois 88-49 on Friday as James Blackmon, Jr. led six players in double figures with 17 points. Thomas Bryant scored 11 points and pulled down nine rebounds. The Hoosiers return four starters, including guard Yogi Ferrell who decided not to enter the NBA draft. Ferrell contributed 13 points and six assists in Friday's win. Austin Peay is picked to finish in the middle of the pack of the Ohio Valley Conference West Division. The Governors return three starters, including 6-8 senior Chris Horton who had 14 rebounds in a 80-41 loss at Vanderbilt. However, Austin Peay shot a horrible 21.9 percent and made just one of 16 three-point attempts. Austin Peay is 0-5 ATS its last five non-conference games, and Indiana is 4-1 ATS its last five non Big 10 matchups. Lay the big points and play Indiana.
