Going into Wednesday, we had two undefeated teams in the NCAA: Kansas and Memphis. That evening, things changed.

Thanks to the Kansas State Wildcats lead by freshman Michael Beasley, Kansas suffered its first lost all season after suffering from a score of 84-75. The loss gave Kansas State its first win at home against the Jayhawks in 24 years.

"I know it means a lot around the city, people at the school," said Beasley, "but it's just a game to me."

Kansas State’s freshmen crew put on a show, as Beasley scored 25 points while guard Jacob Pullen added 20 and forward Bill Walker compiled 22. The Wildcats had the momentum throughout the whole game, and Beasley helped give his team the edge in the second half after scoring just eight points before intermission. He was also a perfect 4-4 from three-point range. The victory ensured the Wildcats the #1 position in the Big 12 standings. However, there was much more than just standings involved, as Kansas had won the previous 35 out of 36 meetings between the two teams. For Kansas State’s head coach Frank Martin, this win was not only a victory, but a statement as well.

"I'm tired of people calling our guards raggedy," Martin said. "It (bothers) me when I continue to hear people say our guards are inferior to other people's guards. They played like grown men today and we didn't turn it over and we made plays to win."

This wasn’t the only cross-town rivalry that caused jaws to drop on Wednesday night. The Texas A&M Aggies, who went into the game ranked at the #23 spot, disappointed the Texas Longhorns (#10) with an 80-63 upset. Josh Carter set the tone for the Aggies with 19 points and 10 rebounds. After suffering from devastating losses against both Kansas State and Baylor, the Aggies needed the win to gain back some momentum.

"This helps a lot ," Carter said of the win. "I think some of us lost some confidence with the losses."

A&M was phenomenal throughout, shooting 64% in the first half. Texas never managed to gain a lead, and at one point they trailed by as much as 22 points. The Longhorns finished the game shooting just 34% from the field.

"There was no point in time that I think we guarded them," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "We didn't deserve to win that one in any shape, form or fashion."

The Aggies’ defense also managed to shutdown Texas superstars D.J. Augustin and A.J. Abrams. Augustin finished with just 14 points, while Abrams managed just 8. Dexter Pittman also added 14.

These two shocking upsets will no doubt shuffle up the rankings. While Memphis has secured the #1 spot for now, teams such as Duke and North Carolina, who meet next week, will definitely be moving up the ladder.
