What is the biggest upset we've pulled so far this year? Have we won a game where we were 10 point underdogs?

No big upsets.  Not many upsets at all really.  I think ESPN analytics favored us in all our wins but for maybe at UCLA.  I think that was a 60/40 game.

That's been the IU M.O. for decades it seems.  Always lose some games you should win.  Think Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota this season.  Almost never win any you weren't supposed to.  Archie's win at MSU being the big exception.

Purdue wasn't a big upset?

Nope.  People who understand the home court advantage AH gives us in a big game such as that knew it was a toss up.

@unclemark It was an upset, but not a big upset.  I don’t think IU was a double digit underdog.

I bet an alternate spread of Illinois -17.5. Not huge money or anything, but I was sweating it out during the final few minutes. For whatever reason Illini by 18 was stuck in my noggin, so I bet accordingly.
