The Duke's Sports
Indiana (+3') for 1.5 Units
The Hoosiers are looking to avenge their January 4th loss at Minnesota where they easily covered. However, they'll have to do so without Watford (wrist), who actually was a non factor in that competitive game where he only scored 4 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. The good news is that we should have Verdell Jones III back in the fray tonight. He has been battling an inflamed knee and should return tonight; after all, he averages 13 ppg, 4 assists, 3 rpg and is a force on defense in the backcourt with Hulls. On the other hand, the Golden Gophers miss Al Nolen (foot), especially on the defensive end of the floor. Minnesota has struggled on the road with a 10-22 ATS ledger and they haven't had much success in Indiana at 1-4 ATS. The dog in this series has covered 5 of the last 6 and we won't fight that trend here.
