It has been a chaotic week in college basketball, and it’s only Wednesday.
A pair of unranked teams knocked off top-five opponents again Wednesday, marking a great beginning to conference play across the country. Mississippi State fended off No. 5 Tennessee 77-72 in Starkville in what was the Bulldogs’ first win over a top-10 opponent since 2002. Then UCF grabbed its first conference win since joining the Big 12 when it knocked off No. 3 Kansas 65-60 in Orlando.
The upsets came one day after both No. 1 Purdue and No. 2 Houston lost to unranked opponents on Tuesday.
