Fairleigh Incredible: FDU Pulls Off Historic March Madness Upset of Purdue

Just go ahead and light your March Madness bracket on fire. That’s about all it’s good for now after Fairleigh Dickinson University on Friday became the second 16-seed ever to knock off a 1-seed in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.The Knights stunned Purdue 63-58 in a first round game in Columbus, Ohio. While FDU wasn’t the first to pull a shocker, UMBC knocked off Virginia five years ago for that honor. The Knights were 23.5-point underdogs to the Boilermakers before tipoff. That makes them the biggest point spread underdog to score an outright win.
