Eastern Illinois pulled off the biggest college basketball upset by point spread in the modern era Wednesday, knocking off Iowa 92-83 on the road as a 31.5-point underdog, according to Caesars Sportsbook.

Kinyon Hodges scored 22 points and Caleb Donaldson added 16 for the Panthers, who became the first underdog of 30 or more points to win outright in the past 30 seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Before Eastern Illinois' upset of the Hawkeyes, underdogs of 30 or more points were 0-558 over the past 30 seasons.

The Panthers were such big underdogs that most sportsbooks did not offer odds on them to win the game straight up.

The start of Wednesday's game was moved up 4½ hours due to the weather forecast, then Iowa broke out to an 18-4 lead and led 45-37 at the half.

I'm surprised that a 30 pt underdog hasn't won a game in over 30 years. With odds always being all over the place early season and the huge number of small schools picking up checks at bigger P5 schools, I would have guessed that it would happen more frequently than it apparently does.

SFA was “only” a 27.5 point dog when it beat #1 Duke in 2019. That SFA if not for Covid was a sweet sixteen team, imo.

There's a pretty unusual looking dude on the Seattle U team. Currently losing to Utah State, 51-31, 13:00 left, ESPN.

It's presumably your only opportunity to gaze upon his oddness. I especially appreciate the little Jedi braid. 

Edit: our hero fucking leveled an opponent lowering his shoulder right into the dude's face while down like 25 and didn't get called for a foul.

Give me a 100 guesses at that dudes first name, and I doubt I land on Kobe. I can only hope he calls it out with every shot

Kentucky looks like ass, down 18 to Missouri in the 2nd

An unranked 11-1 Missouri team at that. They beat our only loss Illinois handily, with their only blemish being a 28 point loss to KU. December rankings are ultimately pretty meaningless but Missouri looks top 25 to this guy.

Agree.  This is an ass kicking.  I’ve seen them play twice now and they look pretty good.

Yup, they can finally stop bitching about it on their socials. They’ll be ranked.
