After sliding up to Joe Lunardi’s “First Four Out”, the Hogs are off the bubble entirely after a home loss to Western Kentucky. That seems a little harsh, since Western Kentucky is decent, and Indiana is up to a 5-seed in the latest bracket. Of course, it’s December, so it really doesn’t matter.
That said, if the Hogs (7-2) want to surprise some folks and go dancing in a rebuilding year, beating Georgia Tech (5-4) on Wednesday is a must. The Yellow Jackets have beaten up on five really bad teams, lost to three pretty good teams, and took an ugly loss to Gardner-Webb in their last outing.
