Summary

Prior to Tuesday night, the last time a mid-major program won on the road against a No. 1 team in men's D-I hoops was in 1993. (Who did it? Listen to find out.) Then Evansville, which won all of 11 games last season, knocked off No. 1 Kentucky 67-64 at Rupp Arena, giving the Wildcats the worst loss of any team so far this season -- and giving Evansville its biggest win in program history. Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander open on that, then get to two five-star commitments in the Big 12 from Tuesday: Bryce Thompson picking Kansas, Nimari Burnett picking Texas Tech (20:45). The guys close by looking ahead to the best ranked matchup of the week (35:00): Michigan State at Seton Hall on Thursday night.
