Indiana Hoosiers (1-0)

Providence Friars (1-0)

 

Current odds:

Indiana Hoosiers: (-125)

Providence Friars: (+105)

 

• The line for this game is Indiana by 1.5 points.

• Indiana and Providence are two teams with hopes of showing improvement this season. The Hoosiers and Friars will get to gauge their progress when they face off in the Maui Invitational in Asheville, N.C., on Monday. Indiana and Providence are opposite a bracket that includes Texas and Davidson.

• Indiana (1-0) is coming off an 89-59 win over Tennessee Tech. Trayce Jackson-Davis was strong inside with 26 points and 11 rebounds, but the Hoosiers also experimented with a smaller lineup and got a lift from Trey Galloway, who scored 13 points off the bench in his IU debut. Miller said playing smaller this season has created some concerns for the Hoosiers rebounding the basketball.

• Providence (1-0) is coming off a 97-56 win over Fairfield in its opener. Star guard David Duke got in foul trouble, picking up two fouls in the first 17 minutes, but still finished with a solid all-around game with 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

• Miller and Cooley share a bond off the floor because they coached together for Team USA at an event in Crete, Greece and won a gold medal in 2015. Both coaches have similar styles, demanding defense first, and expect a physical, grinding contest.
