Fort Wayne pulled off a major upset over No. 3 Indiana Tuesday night on the Mastodons’ home court, winning 71–68 in overtime to stun the Hoosiers.
It was a shocking turn of events for a team that just a day prior had jumped into the top five of the AP poll, largely on the back of its strong season-opening overtime win over then-No. 3 Kansas. The Hoosiers weren’t expected to have another true test until their Nov. 30 matchup with No. 4 North Carolina.
Indiana came out flat from the start, settling for three pointers that weren’t falling as Fort Wayne built up an early nine-point lead.
