#1 Kansas loses to Tennessee

Instant analysis: Tennessee 76, Kansas 68 (ESPN.com)

Kansas becomes the millionth ranked team (including, off the top of my head, Duke, Purdue, West Virginia and some awesome Big East team from an hour southwest of Boston) to lose this weekend, this one in shocking fashion to an undermanned Vols team missing its best player.

UConn has something of a tangential interest in this result: Texas is likely to take over the #1 ranking in the polls. Assuming they can get through their early Big 12 schedule (including a tough game with Kansas State, who also lost this weekend), the Longhorns would be the first #1-ranked opponent to visit Gampel Pavilion when the two teams play Jan. 23.
