ILLINOIS/INDIANA Under 136.5 - A look at the home/away splits for these clubs this season suggests that that should be an ugly, low-scoring game. Indiana home games this year are averaging a combined 127.1 points, and both home games so far that had a posted total went easily Under. The last time the Hoosiers hosted a Big Ten rival was last Tuesday vs. Purdue, and only 121 points were scored in that contest. While Illinois averages a very solid 75.2 points per game overall, this average plummets down to 67.0 points when they hit the road, and their two conference road games have averaged just a combined 131.0 points. Finally, the Under is 4-1-1 in the 6 regular season meetings between these schools since the 2000-2001 season, with an average total score in those games of 132.2 points.
