Pinnacle--Indiana + ***MM Round 2 Game of Year This should be one of the best matchups of the second round, and this game will mean a lot to both long-time rivals who haven’t played each other during the past couple of years. Indiana’s efficient offense can put up a lot of points. One of the places where Indiana has a clear statistical advantage is on the offensive glass. With big men like Thomas Bryant and Max Bielfeldt as well as athletes like Anunoby and Troy Williams attacking the glass, Indiana rebounds 37.6 percent of its misses, the 15th-best mark in America. The Hoosiers’ perimeter shooting wears down teams, and this is a team that isn’t easy to defend. Yogi Ferrell and Troy Williams can get to the bucket at will, just about everyone on the court can knock down the open three, and Thomas Bryant and Max Bielfeldt can control the glass with their strength and size. As long as IU doesn’t have an off shooting night, limits turnovers and doesn’t lose focus on defense, Indiana is going to have a shot to move to the Sweet 16. The Hoosiers can overpower Labissiere, Marcus Lee, and Alex Poythress and generate a lot of second and third chances they will win this game.
