Some of these have already been mentioned on here so I apologize for repeating some of this...

Biggest upset by point spread in the modern era. Previous largest was when Stephen F. Austin won at Duke in November 2019 as a 27.5 point underdog. EIU's odds were so long that most sportsbooks didn't offer odds on them to win the game straight up. Fourth Power 5 win for the Panthers and the first since 2016 (many of the AP reports are reporting 2019 but I looked back through their schedule for that season and can't find a Power 5 win in there) against Mizzou. It's their first win over a B1G school since December 3, 1987 when they won in Charleston against Wisconsin.

What helped EIU win was their 2nd half shooting. They shot 71% overall and were 4-8 from 3 in the 2nd half. Iowa was 31% overall in the 2nd half and 2-17 from 3. That's what turned it from a 45-37 halftime deficit into a 92-83 victory.

Between this win and the Ayo putback to win the Bulls game tonight, this has been a pretty good day for my alma mater and for the NBA team that I follow.

I wonder what Tommy Michael's record against Iowa was in his days here. Regardless, I'm sure this huge win is even a bit sweeter as a former Illini.

It would be golden if someone can get video of this incident and cgi Izzo’s sweater onto him as he foams at the mouth… A Michigan night for the ages! 😁

The Mitten State must be so proud of all their major-sport college coaches…

This thread is absolute gold. And proof that Santa is an Illinois alum. Top Sleigh Engineering school in the world.

Edit: my brother just asked "then why does he wear Wisconsin colors?"

:ROFLMAO:
