College basketball is a sport of upsets, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's team became the latest to pull off the feat.
The unranked Huskers took down No. 1 Purdue on Tuesday night, 88-72, in a Big Ten clash that ended in a court storming.
Nebraska was dominant from 3-point range. The Cornhuskers were 14-23 behind the arc (60.9%) on Tuesday, which, for reference, is 18.3 points higher than Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry's career efficiency from 3 (42.6%).
Senior Keisei Tominaga and junior Rienk Mast led Nebraska scorers with 19 and 18 points, respectively. Purdue star Zach Edey entered Tuesday night fresh off of back-to-back double-doubles , but the Huskers' defense held him to 15 points and seven rebounds.

Nebraska's Tuesday victory over Purdue was the Cornhuskers' first win over a No. 1-ranked team since 1982, when they beat Missouri on the road, 67-51. They hadn't won a home game versus the country's top team since 1964 (vs. Michigan, 74-73).
Fans in Lincoln were ready to celebrate at the game's final buzzer.
