#1 Purdue, #3 Marquette, #7 Duke & #12 Kentucky All Fall to Unranked Opponents

We’re less than a week into December and the college basketball pollsters are having a rough go of things. Another weekend and another list of top teams hit the dust. No. 1-ranked Purdue was the latest victim. After the Boilers took down two top-10 teams in Maui the week before, Purdue fell on the road at Northwestern (92-88, OT) in their Big Ten Conference opener. It doesn’t help that the Boilers have Iowa, #23 Alabama, and #2 Arizona as their next three matchups on the schedule. But they weren’t the only top dawgs to get hunted down — #3 Marquette, #7 Duke, and #12 Kentucky were all victims of upsets to unranked opponents. Here’s a scoreboard of the college hoops weekend:

 

NCAA Men’s Basketball

Northwestern def. #1 Purdue (92-88, OT)

Wisconsin def. #3 Marquette (75-64)

#5 Kansas def. #4 UConn (69-65)
