-8.5 on MGM at -110 is worth $20. Another $10 on the over 143.5
I had the same idea, until I looked at Kenpom and saw Minny is one of the slowest teams in the country. So I just got IU -10.5 @ +110.
It's halftime and that over is basically toast.
I take that back. 33-33 isn't dead on the over. I'm tired, can't math.
Minnesota +10.5 was the easiest winning bet since the Purdue football game.

I took it in the shorts. Thought it was easy money until that lazy dunk that got blocked. It was like they flipped a switch.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Way too high imo. Minnesota isn't good but that's a tough place to play and we haven't played a road game all season. Just one neutral site game. I'll be thrilled with just a win.
You said the same about Kansas St, Nostradumbass.
Home games are very different than on the road. You should know that by now. I think we win tonight. Don't be surprised if it's close though.
Over the years I've been very good at predicting IU basketball games. Why? Because I always, always bet on IU at home and always, always bet against them on the road. I went against that philosophy for KSU and now Minnesota. Might have been a mistake.
Good job..
