Indiana basketball vs. No. 20 Illinois expert prediction, start time, TV channel for 1/14/25

(updated with new information)

Indiana basketball has a tough opponent when it tries to bounce back from a beating as Illinois visits on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025.

The Hoosiers (13-4, 4-2 Big Ten) were blown out by Iowa over the weekend. Mackenzie Mgbako had a second straight rough outing (6 points total, 2-of-14 shooting in those games), Trey Galloway struggled (0 points, 4 turnovers vs. Iowa) and Luke Goode cooled (1-of-4 3-pointers). Bryson Tucker and Kanaan Carlyle got plenty of time off the bench (9 points each). Malik Reneau (14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds) will miss his fourth straight game.

The No. 20 Illini (12-4, 4-2) fell apart in the second half of a home loss to USC that left coach Brad Underwood fuming. Illinois, one of the nation’s best rebounding teams, wound up in a deficit against a Trojans squad that struggles in that area. USC’s Desmond Claude, who had 15 points in a loss to Indiana a few days earlier, scored 31. Illini freshman star Kasparas Jakucionis (16.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.4 rebounds) has missed two straight games and is questionable.

Tipton native Ben Humrichous, who led Illinois in scoring each of the past two games, has taken a winding road to the Big Ten — two years at NAIA Huntington and one at Evansville before joining the Illini. McCutcheon grad Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn adds 7.2 points. Cathedral grad Jake Davis, a transfer from Mercer, comes off the bench.

Indiana basketball prediction, pick

Zach Osterman, IndyStar: Illinois 77-69

Both teams arrive at this game smarting from unexpected weekend losses. Illinois’ home upset at the hands of Southern Cal was perhaps less expected, but the manner of Indiana’s ugly loss in Iowa City is equally humbling. Both teams might still be without key scorers as well, something that wasn’t a problem for either side until Saturday. Illinois remains deeply dangerous offensively. IU will hope a return to friendlier confines puts Iowa in the rear view. Quietly, both sides need this game, at least as much as anyone can in January.

Central Indiana schools announce closures, delays planned for Tuesday

INDIANAPOLIS — Some schools in central Indiana are planning to close or delay the start of their classes on Tuesday.

The closures and delays come in the wake of a difficult weekend of severe winter weather in the Hoosier State. On Saturday, a wintry system dumped more than six inches of snow in some portions of the state.

Points north of Indianapolis like Lafayette received between three and four inches of snow. Towns south of the Circle City like Seymour saw similar snowfall totals. As for Indianapolis itself, more than five inches of snow were recorded in some portions of the city.

After Saturday’s snow, frigid temperatures took hold in the area. A Cold Weather Advisory was issued for much of the state as wind chill values dipped well below zero.

The cold and snow triggered a bevy of school closings and delays for Monday. Schools began to announce delays and closures for Tuesday late Monday night as snow removal crews across the state continued to try to keep roadways clear.

Though some schools plan to close or delay the start of classes on Tuesday, temperature improvements are forecasted. High temperatures are anticipated to exceed the 32-degree freezing threshold and hit 36 degrees. The warming trend is expected to continue on both Wednesday and Thursday, with high temperatures forecasted to reach 40 and 50 degrees, respectively.

Precipitation is forecasted for Thursday, though temperatures are expected to remain warm enough for Indiana to get rain instead of snow.

Police shoots man armed with knife in Gary, Indiana, officials say

A man wielding a knife was shot by a police officer on Sunday in Gary, Indiana.

A spokesperson for the city said officers responded to the 2100 block of Tennessee Street for a call of a suicidal man who was armed with a knife in his hand. The man had already stabbed himself a couple of times before they arrived.

Officers found the man in the east alley of 22nd and Ohio. At this time, he was standing in the alley still with the knife in his hand and refused to drop it as ordered by officers. The man then started to advance toward the officer, who shot the man three times in the arm, the spokesperson said.

The officer notified the department that shots were fired, and the man was down. The condition of the man is unknown as of Sunday night.

Other officers responded to the scene to set up a perimeter around the area. The Gary Fire Department and Lake County Crime Scene Investigation personnel were also contacted.

No further information was immediately available.
