TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8TH
#696 INDIANA (-6′) over USC at 7 PM EST
On a roll off four consecutive straight up victories including an impressive upset road win at Penn State the last time out, Indiana will return home and pound USC. The Trojans enter this Big Ten battle off four consecutive home games and a straight up loss to the Wolverines and this will be a challenging spot for head coach Eric Musselman and his squad.
This is a magnificent wagering spot for IU. Inside Assembly Hall arriving with momentum off two or more straight up wins, the Hoosiers hold a profitable 99-66-2 ATS record including a powerful 86-53-1 ATS provided they were victorious by six points or more last. With those two parameters live and Indiana battling an opponent that is running with four or more days of rest and holds a team won/loss percentage of .501 or higher, this situation improves to a rewarding 34-14 ATS. Also, when priced as a single digit home favorite, head coach Mike Woodson and his troops own a lucrative 12-6 ATS mark in their last 18 battles.
After ripping off four straight wins and covers, USC was throttled at home by Michigan in its last battle. This trip to Bloomington will be a really tough spot for the Men of Troy. As it stands, since March 2nd, 2023, the Trojans have been an average basketball team inking a mediocre 25-26 SU and 21-30 ATS record. In this run actually holding a team won/loss percentage of .400 or higher, Coach Musselman and his troops fall to a miserable 15-29 ATS including a horrible 2-15 SU and 3-14 ATS provided they are priced as a single digit underdog. Lastly, when grabbing points, USC sports a feeble 5-18 SU and 8-15 ATS tally in its last 23 battles including a shocking 0-7 SU and ATS provided it owns a team won/loss percentage of .601 or higher.
Coach Woodson and his boys have a tough game at Iowa on deck and he will make sure the Hoosiers go into that contest with plenty of momentum. Take Indiana. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
