9:00 PM EST. The Badgers are notably on the cusp of winning their 20th game and come into tonight as the #18 school in America. A ranked team spotting a minimal price on the road to unranked competition is a favored angle of ours, as the market tends to overvalue the polls. In addition to that superficial designation from a bunch of coaches and media types that barely watch these games, the Badgers are going to have some appeal here because they've won two straight, but a closer look shows, they've beaten Illinois and Northwestern, which have just nine conference wins between them. Before that modest two-game run, Wisconsin had dropped back-to-back games to Michigan State and Michigan respectively. The market will see those at “good” losses, but they prove the Badgers are vulnerable against quality teams, which despite its record, Indiana is.

As the losses continue to rack up for the Hoosiers, their market appeal may be nearing rock bottom, but we're not nearly as down on this IU squad as the talking heads. The Hoosiers have played a tough schedule that ranks seventh in the nation according to KenPom and Indiana came close to adding another signature win on Saturday after taking #21 Iowa to overtime, but it fell 76-70. In the game prior, IU lost 48-46 to Purdue and the Hoosiers also dropped a close game recently to Ohio State (55-52) and gave the Hawkeyes (77-72) a scare up in Bloomington on February 7. Indiana has played some good ball since its win over Michigan State to kick off the month, but in the market, wins and losses are all that matters. The Hoosiers 12-2 start to the season has long been forgotten after a 1-12 run since, but IU is better than their record would have you believe and it continues to be undervalued in the market. A signature win over a ranked conference foe is not out of the question here.
