Maryland’s upset comes one day after the top six teams in the AP poll all lost in the same day. Top-ranked Gonzaga fell to Saint Mary’s, while No. 2 Arizona lost to Colorado and third-ranked Auburn dropped a matchup with Tennessee.
No. 4 Purdue lost on the road at Michigan State, No. 5 Kansas came up short at Baylor and sixth-ranked Kentucky fell at Arkansas.
Get ready for some poll chaos tomorrow.
