G’s Expectation or Let the Trickle Begin

Hello everyone. I just finished watching Indiana break the GCRs heart. Looking to go 2-0 and recovering from an awful 3-6 holiday, the Hoosiers said, “no, you will not have a winning day” and handed Tennessee (who fought hard and earned) the victory. I’m not counting Vegas wins even though Tennessee failed to cover, so …
