The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers and No. 2 Houston Cougars found themselves on the wrong side of men's college basketball history Tuesday.
Both teams were on the losing end of a matchup against unranked teams. Purdue suffered an 88-72 defeat to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, while Houston lost 57-53 to the Iowa State Cyclones.
Both losses came on the road. Tuesday marked the 648th day in AP poll history that the top two ranked teams both faced unranked sides on the same day.
It's only the eighth time that both ended up losing and just the third time in the past 40 years, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
