Breaking News-Lincoln’s Jermaine Hamlin was a part of college basketball history last night (Wednesday, December 21st).

His Eastern Illinois Panthers upset the Iowa Hawkeyes 92-83. But that’s not the half of it.

EIU was a 31.5 point underdog going into the contest. In the last 30 years games like this showed the favorites held a 558-0 record against the underdogs, but after last night it's now 1-558!

Hamlin did his part by scoring 9 points and was one of 3 Panthers who hauled down a game-high 7 rebounds!

What a night!

Go Railers!
