Unfortunately for us Indiana men\u2019s basketball is still on it and there\u2019s probably a universe in which the Hoosiers do, in fact, receive a bid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Will that happen? Almost certainly not. Indiana collapsed nearly as badly as it could\u2019ve to (likely) close Darian DeVries\u2019 first season as head coach with six losses in its last seven games, with only one of said losses coming by double digits. Two of those losses were to the same team, Northwestern, which is firmly out of the tournament picture. The Wildcats still not only beat the Hoosiers twice, but did so by an even greater margin the second time. Neither game was on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Anyway,<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you think Indiana doesn\u2019t go dancing, there\u2019s several people who agree with you.

Vegas. Indiana\u2019s odds entering the final stretch of the season were favorable to land a bid before completely flipping during the Hoosiers\u2019 collapse. Unlike other bubble teams, Indiana is not listed in <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/ncaab?tab=national-champion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:FanDuel Sportsbook\u2019s;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;FanDuel Sportsbook\u2019s&quot;}\" class=\"link \">FanDuel Sportsbook\u2019s <\/a>national championship odds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Another rough March in Bloomington for the men\u2019s basketball program looks inevitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Are you tired of talking about the NCAA Tournament bubble?
