The Illinois Fighting Illini will be looking to get back to their winning ways when they face the Indiana Hoosiers tonight in a Big 10 matchup at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. (ET).

Illinois has lost three of its last four games including a 73-68 loss to No.1 Ohio State last Saturday as a 3 ½-point home underdog. The Fighting Illini are now 14-6 straight-up overall and 10-10 against the spread. The three losses were all against conference teams so they are just 4-3 SU in the Big 10.

Demetri McCamey has been a force for Illinois with 15.6 points, 7.1 assists, and 3.5 rebounds a game. Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale are each averaging over 10 points a game and Tisdale leads in rebounds with 7.2 per game. The Illini are shooting 47.8 from the floor and averaging 75 points a game.

It has been a rough go for Indiana this season with and overall record of 10-10 SU overall (6-8 ATS) and a dismal 1-6 SU record in the conference. The Hoosiers have only won once in their last nine games. Last time out they were crushed by Iowa 91-77 as a two-point road underdog.

Christian Watford has been one bright spot with a team-high 16.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Two of their other top scorers Verdell Jones III and Maurice Creek are out with knee injuries so the prospect for a turnaround does not look good.

Injuries to two key starters has decimated an already average team so the Illini only giving up 4 ½ points on the road should be a gift.

Gambling Trends:

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of last 5 games when Illinois playing on the road against Indiana
The total has gone OVER in 5 of last 6 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of last 5 games when Indiana playing at home against Illinois
