Evansville's shocking win over blue-blood Kentucky Tuesday night tied for the third biggest college basketball upset in the past 15 seasons, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
The Wildcats, ranked No. 2 in the coaches poll and No. 1 in the Associated Press poll, were 25-point favorites before the Purple Aces shocked the college basketball world in Lexington. Evansville was picked to finish eighth of 10 teams in the Missouri Valley Conference, while Kentucky had just knocked off preseason No. 1 Michigan State in its season-opener last week.
