Hey, Evansville isn't bad. They're undefeated this season.
They were picked to finish 8th in the Missouri Valley Conference this season. Ouch.
The Purple Aces closed as 25-point underdogs at Caesars Sportsbook, matching the third-largest betting upset in the past 15 seasons in a college basketball game involving two Division-I teams.
A week after Kentucky took out top-ranked Michigan State, it was the Wildcats' turn to fall as the No. 1 team on Tuesday night in a 67-64 stunner to unranked Evansville, which entered as a 25-point underdog.
Good for Evansville for getting that upset win. The bad part is this type of prosperity usually lends to a “ Evansville” having to search for a new coach.
Evansville had three clock violations in the last 6 minutes. They didn't even close it out well. Heck of an upset, but its early in the season and I bet the Kentucky kids haven't even had time to cash their checks yet. They'll get in better form for draft season.
