This game will be played at the Beeghly Center at 2:00 PM ET on Saturday, January 7, 2023.
Why Bet On Youngstown State:
✅ IUPUI might be the worst program in college basketball right now, or at least in the discussion with a Hartford program that willingly gutted itself to move down to Division III after this season. They have one Division I win, over a Texas A&M Commerce team in its first year as a Division I program.
✅ Youngstown State has a lethal offense that should be able to create separation in this contest. They average 83.7 points per game this season, and rank 35th in offensive efficiency per Kenpom. Against a bottom-10 defense in the country, the Penguins will win big.
✅ Youngstown State is an impressive 9-5 against the spread this season, covering the number 64.3% of the time thus far.

IUPUI Jaguars
The IUPUI Jaguars are 3-12 on this season so far, having lost two straight games. Their most recent win came on December 20, where they scored their first Division I victory of the season against Texas A&M Commerce, who joined the Southland Conference for this season, their first in Division I. Here, IUPUI is a huge underdog on the road against Youngstown State.
Kenpom has IUPUI as the second worst team in college basketball, better only than Hartford, whose head coach left the week before the season started in protest of the school’s drop to Division III. Among the 362 Division I schools that did not intentionally destroy their own program to save money this year, IUPUI is the worst of the bunch.
Youngstown State Penguins
The Youngstown State Penguins have started this season with an 11-5 record, which includes a 3-2 mark in conference play. This team is coming off of a win over Robert Morris in their last outing, where they won by a 22-point margin. That is roughly the size of the point spread in this game, as Youngstown State is expected to demolish IUPUI.
The Penguins have one of the best offenses that you have never heard of in college basketball. They shoot better than 49% from the field and have scored under 70 points just once this season. Expect Youngstown State to be able to put some distance between themselves and the Jaguars here, thanks to the consistency of their scoring.
