This link shares a bit of light on it, but it's more from a point spread standpoint...http://www.beyondthebets.com/in-light-of-kansas-tcu-heres-a-list-of-the-biggest-conference-upsets-in-college-hoops-in-past-7-years/

KU's loss doesnt even compare to this:07-08Gardner-Webb +26 at Kentucky | W 84-68
This loss coupled with the 2-4 losses they have left will single-handedly keep KU from getting a #3 seed, I'd bet.

It was the 2nd game coming off a 12 loss season and they had a 1st year coach.
how does it compare to the US beating the Soviets in 1980 winter olympics?

If Kenya would have fielded an ice hockey team for the 1980 olympics and beaten the soviets, that might, MIGHT, have been a bigger upset than this.

Regardless they were both terrible losses
Guys, you have to take into account that TCU still played pretty rough ridin' bad. It's not like some shitty team came out and rained 3's and got lucky. TCU was bad.
Don't tell catzacker.
tcu played with gusto though, ku played without hardly any gusto at all. at least non that i could discern.

KU looked scared and mentally out of sync, which is why the loss is so disturbing. It took them over seven minutes to score a point. It's completely unprecedented for KU basketball.
