Fort Wayne knocked off Indiana Tuesday night in an overtime thriller of the Indiana Classic, prevailing by a score of 71-68. Some have heralded it as an early-season miracle, while local media outlets in Indiana referred to it as a historic win. While it is historic in the sense that it was Fort Waynes first ever win over a Top 25 team, and certainly an upset, it is nowhere near the most unlikely or surprising result of the young college basketball season.Using ESPNs College Basketball Power Index (BPI), one can calculate what the most unlikely win of the young season has been so far. There are two parts of the approach to this, due to the constant updating of BPI that occurs when we learn more about each team.The first calculation is based on what results were most unlikely, given the information we had leading up to the game. This is based on what each teams perceived strength (BPI) was going into the game.The second tenet of the approach is to use the most current estimate of a teams strength, now that we know more about each team. This approach is helpful since we know more about teams as the season progresses, but isnt perfect because we are using the result of the game to inform BPI, which is then used to calculate a Win Probability (WP). By either standard, Fort Waynes upset of Indiana doesnt even sniff the top 5. Why?Fort Wayne may not be a big-budget basketball school, but there are a lot of worse teams. According to BPI, the Mastodons were the 124th-ranked team heading into Tuesdays game, playing the 17th ranked team. While that figure might seem low, it is still above average in a Division I that includes 351 teams. Also, it is important to remember that it was a home game for Fort Wayne. Add it all up, and going into the game last night Fort Wayne still had a 29 percent chance to win. While it may have been historic for those hometown fans who stormed the court, more stunning upsets have already happened -- and there are certainly more to come.Davante Adams Super Bowl Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. Elgton Jenkins Super Bowl Jersey . -- Derrick Rose shook off poor shooting early to hit clutch shots late and Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 104-95 preseason victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.PORTLAND, Ore. -- The matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night at the Moda Center features a duel between two of the better shooting guards in the NBA.Chicagos Jimmy Butler collected 37 points, nine assists, eight rebounds and three steals Saturday in a 116-105 win over the Washington Wizards.Portlands CJ McCollum scored 21 points to help the Trail Blazers defeat Denver 112-105 at home Sunday night.Butler is the first Bull to reach those figures since Scottie Pippen had 37, eight and eight in December 1995. The 2016 U.S. Olympian, who is averaging 24.3 points, is the first Bull who has scored at least 20 points with three steals in four straight games since Pippen (1994-95).I cant express how much easier it makes it on everyone else having someone like that on both sides of the floor, Chicago center Robin Lopez said.Over the past four games, Butler is averaging 29 points, seven rebounds, 5.3 rebounds and four steals and is a collective 42 for 46 at the line.Were putting the ball in his hands bringing the ball down the floor a lot more than we did a year ago, second-year Bulls coach Fred Holberg said. Last year, wed bring him off action to get him to the top of the floor. Now hes bringing it down and going to work. We want the ball in Jimmys hands because of his ability to draw contact.Butler is providing more vocal leadership, too, than ever before for the Bulls (6-4).The thing I love about him is how he has continued to talk and been a great leader with his voice this year, Holberg said.Said Butler: Its going to have to be me to lead the charge when it comes tto coming out with the right energy, making sure were doing everything were supposed to do at both ends.dddddddddddd Im definitely capable of doing that.McCollum also is on a scoring tear of late, with three 30-plus-point games in his past five games for the Blazers (7-4).CJ seems to have found his rhythm, Portland coach Terry Stotts said of the 2015-16 NBA Most Improved Player Award recipient. I go back to when everybody was so concerned about him in preseason. He has showed he is picking up where he left off last year.That was a breakout season for McCollum in his first year as a starter. He averaged 20.8 points while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 41.7 percent from 3-point range and 82.7 percent from the free-throw line.So far this season, McCollum is boasting better numbers across the board -- a 22.1-point average while shooting 47.2 percent from the field, 43.1 percent on 3-point attempts and 85.7 percent from the line. He is also averaging 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists as a combo guard, since Stotts is employing him at the point when Damian Lillard is out of the game.I just want to do whatever it takes to get on the court, McCollum said. When Im playing alongside Dame, I get a lot of opportunities off the ball, a lot of shots in the flow of the offense. When I play (as point guard) with the second unit, Im trying to make the right decisions on the pick-and-roll, and when Dame comes back in, to get him off the ball some as well, because hes a unique scorer.
