The Rule: In sports, the team with better players usually wins.
The Exception: Occasionally, a team with inferior players, can pull off an upset
Indiana fans have become delusional in chasing the fictitious coach who can consistently pull off the exception. Our favorite movie, Hoosiers, is based on an exception (1954 Milan High School) versus the rule (Muncie Central which won IHSSAA state championships in 1928, 1931, 1951, 1952, 1963, 1978, 1979 and 1988.)

Last year's team beating MSU twice was an exception, rather than the rule (which was that that team had serious talent deficiencies, particularly in the post)
The article below is one that demonstrates the "rules" of college basketball instead of the exceptions

I want IU to be Muncie Central, not Milan. For IU to become what we all want it to become, we have to have someone consistently bringing in better players. It just isn't much more complicated than that.
