Eastern Illinois stuns Iowa as 32-point underdogs in one of the biggest underdog upsets in college basketball history

Woah! What were you doing this Wednesday afternoon when the biggest college basketball upset of the season occurred?

Perhaps you were at work. Maybe you were wrapping Christmas presents. Or, hey, there’s a chance you were watching this game between Iowa and Eastern Illinois that took place in Iowa City.

But in case you missed it, the Eastern Illinois Panthers went into Carver-Hawkeye Arena as 32-point road underdogs and left with a 92-83 win.

The upset on Tuesday afternoon is being dubbed by bookmakers as “the biggest college basketball point-spread upset in the last 30 years,” according to Chris Hassel of CBS Sports HQ.

If you were one of the lucky individuals who put your money on Eastern Illinois to do seemingly the unthinkable, your payout was certainly worth the wager.

As is always the case, college basketball is truly one of the wildest and most unpredictable sports to bet one. Just wait until we get to March.
