Are the Indiana Hoosiers on upset watch against the Kent State Golden Flashes?

The Indiana Hoosiers basketball team is back in the NCAA Tournament, but as a traditionally cursed 4 seed, are they on upset watch against the Kent State Golden Flashes? The Hoosiers have spent all season being inconsistent in the Big Ten Conference and that could come back to bite them in the tourney.

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) breaks down the Hoosiers and how big of a threat they are to be upset. While upsets by their nature are unexpected, Kent State is not the profile of a team that Indiana has struggled with this year. To the point of their volatility, the Hoosiers rank somewhere between a strong favorite or a likely upset candidate in the tournament.

The flip side of that is the women's team, who are favorites for the Final Four out of their bracket. Indiana was given a favorable bracket by the selection committee and should now be making a goal to at least get to the Final Four, if not the national title game likely against South Carolina.
