Indiana Hoosiers NCAA Basketball Betting
Mike Woodson was hired upon his return home, where he played under the late great Bobby Knight. Following initial success, Woodson and the Indiana Hoosiers are proven to be not up to par when it comes to contending for championships. Woodson has been a flop and will go down as a flash in the pan. His teams are not fundamentally sound or well organized. Woodson’s work habits are under fire as well. The Hoosier face an uncertain future and the prospects of being a historic relic of another time. Indiana basketball remains yesterday’s news. Indiana announced that they will part ways with Woodson after the season.

2025 Indiana Hoosiers Season Recap
Overall, the Indiana Hoosiers are 19-12 straight up, 17-14 against the spread, and 13-18 over/under the total. Indiana has national metrics of 144th for scoring offense, 105th for field goal percentage, 274th for 3-point field goal percentage, 229th for free throw percentage, and 143rd for offensive rebounding. While defensively, Indiana is 184th for scoring defense, 140th for field goal percentage permitted, 111th for 3-point field goal percentage allowed, and 126th for defensive rebounding.
Late on Indiana has covered five of its previous nine games. Indiana has gone under the total in nine of its last ten outings. First among Indiana scorers is Malink Reneau with 13.3 points per game.
Jackson Shelstad scored 18 points, and No. 23 Oregon held Indiana scoreless for more than 4 1/2 minutes late in the game Thursday to pull out a 72-59 win in the second round of the Big Ten Conference tournament in Indianapolis. TJ Bamba added 17 points, and Brandon Angel kicked in 14 for the eighth-seeded Ducks.
Malik Reneau came off the bench to score a game-high 19 points for the Hoosiers, while Trey Galloway added 15 points and a game-high nine assists. Mackenzie Mgbako hit for 10 points, but leading scorer Oumar Ballo made only 4 of 11 shots and managed just eight points, five below his average.
The outcome was not only Indiana’s second loss to the Ducks in nine days but also appeared to leave the Hoosiers squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble. They connected on just 25 of 69 attempts from the field.
Indiana trailed just 56-54 with 7:33 remaining after Reneau shook loose for a layup off a Myles Rice feed. But it didn’t score again until Reneau made a layup at the 2:04 mark, making it 65-56. Oregon kept it at bay from there.
The pregame storyline was whether the Ducks could keep their late-season run going. They came into the tournament with a seven-game winning streak that included a come-from-behind overtime win last month at Wisconsin.
The Hoosiers got out of the gate strong, playing a de facto home game just minutes from their Bloomington campus. They led 17-9 at the 13:35 mark as Reneau converted a 3-point play.
But Oregon gradually reeled them in over the next 6 1/2 minutes, forging a 23-23 tie with 7:02 left as Angel splashed a corner 3-pointer off a Keeshawn Barthelemy pass. Then they ripped off the final 10 points of the half to take a 37-29 advantage to intermission on Barthelemy’s short jumper with 31 seconds remaining.
Indiana was not selected for the 68-team NCAA Tournament field on Sunday. The Hoosiers were listed as the second team left out behind West Virginia. The final four spots in the field went to San Diego State, North Carolina, Texas and Xavier.
Indiana had the opportunity to play in the new Fox-created tournament for also-rans, the College Basketball Crown, which will take place in Las Vegas between the end of the Elite Eight round and the Final Four.
With the conclusion of the season comes the end of the Mike Woodson coaching era. In four years, Woodson finished with an 82-53 record. His best season was in 2023 when the Hoosiers finished 23-12.
