The Indiana Hoosiers are the betting line favorites as they prepare for the Bruins of UCLA this coming Saturday.

IU head coach Curt Cignetti even expressed some surprise at that fact in his Monday press conference given the amount of success UCLA has had in recent years. But he said overall “that doesn’t matter.”

Cignetti said his team will be ready for Saturday’s Big Ten match-up at the Rose Bowl.

This will be the first time the Hoosiers have faced the Bruins since their clash at the 1969 Rose Bowl Game.
