Upsets this past weekend

There were many upsets that occurred this past weekend in college basketball. One huge upset came by the Seton Hall Pirates defeating the number 5 team in the nation and fellow Big East rival Xavier. The Pirates were led by an incredible performance by Forward Desi Rodriguez who came up with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists. The unranked Pirates should be getting more attention after this huge in-conference win.




Another big upset came in the Big Ten. Unranked Ohio State buckeyes defeated the number 8 ranked team in the nation the Iowa Hawkeyes 64-68. Forward Keita Bates-Diop had a huge game with 19 pts 6 rebounds and 1 assist. 

The number 15 ranked team in the nation the Duke Blue Devils were also upset by an unranked team this weekend. The Pittsburgh Panthers led by forward Jamel Artis who had 17 pts 5 rebounds and 4 assists helped them beat the Blue Devils 76-62. Duke's guard Grayson Allen did add 22 pts of his own after many thought he should have been suspended for his "tripping antics" that have been made famous recently. The first video shows Allen intentionally tripping a Louisville player late in the game as he was called for a flagrant foul. The second video shows him tripping another player in which he got away with it claiming he was stretching.
