BLOOMINGTON, Ind,. — Indiana opens the season with four straight home games, and the last of it before a critical trip to the Bahamas comes Thursday night when the Hoosiers take on UNC Greensboro, a middle of the pack team from the Southern Conference.

Indiana (3-0) is a 16.5-point favorite over UNC Greensboro (2-1) according to the FanDuel.com gambling website. The over/under is 145.5. The game, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, starts at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The Hoosiers have looked good so far, winning every game by at least 17 points. They've covered in two of three, and their only rough patch was the first half against Eastern Illinois, but they bounced back nicely there to win easily.

Indiana will have to defend the three-ball. UNC Greensboro has hit 12 threes in each of its victories, which is why the line is probably as low as it is. Indiana has given up 20 threes in its three wins, an average of 6.7 per game. Opponents are shooting just 26.7 percent from deep vs. Indiana, which ranks No. 47 in the country out of 355 teams according to NCAA.com.

Here's what we know so far about how Indiana and UNC Greensoboro have fared against the point spread. The Spartans do have one loss, at SMU, but they've covered in both games with a point spread.
