College basketball gave fans a glimpse of March Madness on Tuesday. The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers fell to an unranked Nebraska team in blowout fashion, while No. 2 Houston lost to Iowa State on the road. This marks AP men's college basketball history, making it the first time since 2016 that two teams in the AP poll lost to unranked opponents on the same day, per Jedd Borzello at ESPN.

Purdue didn't just lose to Nebraska, they got demolished. The Boilermakers suffered an 88-72 loss, with leader Zach Edey being held to 15 points and seven rebounds. Nebraska basketball had four players score in double-figures, gaining traction from beyond the arc with a 14-24 shooting performance from three. The Cornhuskers were electric from the start of the game, controlling Purdue into sets while playing aggressively enough to hold the lead for the majority of the matchup.
