To put into perspective how much of an underdog FDU was, they lost basketball games to teams this year called "SIUE", "Longwood", "Hartford", "Queens", "Sacred Heart", "Stonehill", and "Central Connecticut". In fact, they didn't even win their conference. They only got invited to the tournament because the team that beat them in the conference final, called "Merrimack", was a D2 school so recently that their current conference contract didn't guarantee them an auto-bid if they win the conference until next year. And on top of all that, FDU already had to win a First Four game just to get to be a 16 seed against Purdue. To say "This is the biggest upset in tournament history" is an understatement. These young men (and their coaching staff) deserve all the credit in the world for somehow pulling this off.

I had Furman and Princeton reach the second round, resulting in a flawless bracket until Fairleigh Dickinson ruined it. My sister currently attends Fairleigh Dickinson for sports. My sister can share the experience that I had when I attended North Texas as a student in 2021 when our team stunned Purdue.

Historic... like winning a chip for them honestly. Soooo proud!!!

Jamie Erdahl is a great reporter ...you can feel her emotion and connection to the game ...players and coaches during her interviews! ( first time seeing her)

Many had Purdue out early… but not THIS early

Wow, just wow! Great job FDU! Played like a TEAM. And the blocks were epic!!!
-
I saw FDU hanging with Purdue early and was thinking it could be like a Gardner Webb Virginia game. FDU has a nice little first half and it’s cool to be up at the half but then Purdue shows up and yeah. Then I saw the score with 10 minutes and Purdue still hadn’t pulled away. I decided to tune in with 3 minutes and wow
