the craziest day in college basketball history

Saturday February 26, 2022 very well may have been the craziest day in college basketball history. For the first ever, every team ranked in the top six lost. In addition, seven of the top ten ranked teams lost on the same day for the first time ever. Top ranked Gonzaga lost to St Mary's, second ranked Arizona was upset by Colorado, third ranked Auburn lost to Tennessee, fourth ranked Purdue lost on a game winner against Michigan State, fifth ranked Kansas lost against Baylor, sixth ranked Kentucky lost against Arkansas, and ninth ranked Texas Tech lost to TCU. Another major upset occurred in Chicago as lowly Chicago State took down WAC leading New Mexico State in the final seconds despite being 17 point underdogs. And in addition to all of these upsets, there was also a few crazy endings that will be remembered for a long time. In my opinion, at the very least, this was one of the craziest days in college basketball history and might be the craziest ever. It is highly unlikely that we will ever see all top six teams lose on the same day again.

Gonna be honest I didn’t research every single day in college basketball history but I think it’s safe to say this will never happen again. Also, keep in mind #8 Villanova, who didn’t play on Saturday, lost to UConn earlier in the week.

This is the most stacked season of college basketball I've ever seen, and I've been a UK fan for 40+ years. It's crazy how so many unranked teams have slain literal giants this season. No one is safe in the tourney this year. Should be a blast!

[godukekelsey]

All of those upsets happened at the home of the underdog team. Home field familiarity and crowd energy plays a MASSIVE role.

Yesterday had such a 2007 college football feel to it, and I loved it

[naswii]

I went into work at my job and noticed on the TV screens that Kentucky and Purdue had lost once I got there. Auburn was about to fall. Then I saw TCU was gonna win. Since I love to see upsets, I was hoping to see Baylor, Colorado, and Saint Mary’s all win. I could not believe my eyes when they all did. It was amazing to see, and I won’t forget it.

The dude who did the chicago state win call deserves a raise

[roductionz]

That chicago state upset was crazy. They were playing at home but they don't have any fans other that their band like seriously I'm not kidding.

[thebigchap]

I remember when all of the other teams had already lost, Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s had the last game of the night, and everybody knew Saint Mary’s was going to win before the game even started. It was just one of those days

[YeehawCowboy]

This is one of the few days of sports I will never forget watching. I had just started getting into college basketball, and with nothing to do all day, I had ESPN on my phone going between each game. It was simply insane. No other way to put it

[Landonio]

And this is why college sports are better.

[notJCS]

I can't be the only one who was high key caught off guard by the CSU- NMSU ending. Holy shit.

Given how wild this past college football season was too, I’m wondering if that extra year of eligibility leveled the playing field a bit - one and done teams still had turnover, but other teams may be stacked with depth and seniority due to that extra year.

[irvingboy]

Bittersweet day for me we could’ve been 1 or 2 after all the chaos but I can’t believe all those teams lost

[kamrondavis]

Man even added some bonus content at the end. Legend

[KrisBonn]

So glad you added the Virginia Tech/Miami and Virginia/Florida st. games. those games got completely over shadowed by the insanity yesterday.

I was in the Izzone for my last time for the MSU-Purdue game, Tyson's three to seal it was euphoric lol.

[linktown-blue]

It wasn’t one day but this past week was on this level. All but two of the top 11 teams lost. This is why I love college basketball.

[dat_kid_named_will]

I’m a Purdue fan so this hurt because we could have been No.2

Me in the future after realizing that Auburn, Arizona, and Gonzaga lost we could have No.1

[tannerplaysguitarhero]

Don't forget Wisconsin getting that huge upset over Rutgers at the Rac.
