What to Know

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take on the Indiana Hoosiers at 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Notre Dame came out on top in a nail-biter against the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, sneaking past 66-62. The Fighting Irish got double-digit scores from four players: guard Dane Goodwin (14), guard Blake Wesley (14), guard Trey Wertz (12), and forward Paul Atkinson (10).

Meanwhile, the sound you heard on Sunday was the absolute smackdown IU laid on the Merrimack Warriors. It was another big night for IU’s forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, who had 16 points in addition to nine boards and three blocks.

Notre Dame is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Notre Dame is now 4-4 while the Hoosiers sit at 8-2. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Fighting Irish are stumbling into the game with the 23rd fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.9 on average. IU has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 22nd worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 15.9 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
