Rankings courtesy of Paste BN Sports Coaches Poll.
Three of Kennesaw State's 8 wins were against non-Division I teams. As a low-level team, the Owls would need a major upset to pull off this victory against a Top-25 Hoosiers team looking to improve their positioning for a high seed in March.
Under coach Mike Woodson, the Hoosiers already have a victory this season over North Carolina. Led by Trayce Jackson-Davis (16.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game), the Hoosiers will be a tough matchup for the Owls in what could be a lop-sided outcome.

Kennesaw State at Indiana picks and predictions
Prediction
Indiana 82, Kennesaw State 67
Moneyline
PASS.
Indiana's (-3000) price is too high to make any type of wager on. It is also too high to add to a parlay for any additional odds. It is best to just stay away from this number entirely.
Against the spread
BET KENNESAW STATE +19.5 (-110).
Much like other double-digit favorites that failed to cover Thursday such as Kansas (-20.5 vs. Harvard), Penn State (-14.5 vs. Quinnipiac) and Minnesota (-11.5 vs. Chicago State), the Hoosiers will look to get in and out of this get-away game with no injuries heading into the Big Ten conference.
The 19.5 line is fair. But in this circumstance, it is just a few points too high for my liking. KENNESAW STATE +19.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE PLAY.
Over/Under
BET OVER 141.5 (-110).
Indiana will score against the Owls, who won't be looking at this as a get-away game. Kennesaw State will push the ball and hope to be able to keep up with Indiana. Which it will for a while. This will also lead the Hoosiers to score to keep this game at a comfortable distance. Expect this game to make it Over the total of 141.5 (-110).
