Indiana fans loved to see Kentucky’s embarrassing loss to Evansville

No. 1 Kentucky was stunned on its home floor by Evansville on Tuesday.

For the first time in program history, Evansville toppled a AP-ranked team on the road. That team happened to be the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats, a favorite to win the national championship at the end of the season.

Last season, the Purple Aces won just 11 games, and were picked to finish eighth in the Missouri Valley Conference this year. Evansville didn’t catch fire from the floor – the Purple Aces shot 38 percent from the field – or win on a fluke buzzer-beater, they outworked the top-ranked team in the nation and played excellent defense at Rupp Arena to pull off a historic upset. For Kentucky, it was the first time the Wildcats had ever lost at home as a No. 1 team to a non-conference opponent, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

College basketball fans roasted Kentucky online, and Indiana fans at Assembly Hall chanted “Evansville” during the Hoosiers’ blowout win on Tuesday.

We now know the rest of the start times for Michigan football moving forward.

With the two upcoming home rivalry games kicking off at noon EST, the lone game we didn’t know about was the final road game of the season, as Michigan travels to Bloomington to take on a currently ranked Indiana team.

While the Hoosiers play Penn State this weekend, which could affect their ability to be ranked, regardless, it’ll be a big matchup for a Wolverines team that has recently struggled at Indiana, with each of the last two road games there going to overtime.

As a result, it won’t just be an early kickoff, as Indiana announced that the game will kick off at 3:30PM EST, and will be televised on either ABC or ESPN.

Michigan has to really maintain focus, either way, given the recent struggles against the Hoosiers, especially on the road. But, it’s somewhat exacerbated given that the maize and blue take on archrival Ohio State the very next week. In recent memory, when the Wolverines have taken on Indiana, the home games have been the week before The Game, but the road games came at least two weeks before said matchup.
