I’m sure everyone had Fairleigh-Dickinson over Purdue, right?

Did anyone? I've never heard of FDU.
The fallacy is to fall for the seedings. That's the craziness of the tournament.

I'm here for the upsets, except when it's my team. Actually, my team won! Go Hoosiers!

Apparently nobody did. In the CBS Bracket Challenge (or whatever it’s called), there are no perfect brackets remaining.

I had heard of FDU but I‘m not sure why. My wife asked me where it was and I had no idea. Teaneck, NJ.

Purdue's whiteboard is DESTROYED after loss to Fairleigh Dickinson

Purdue took out their anger on an innocent bystander on Friday night. After the team's shocking 63-58 loss to No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson, someone apparently destroyed a whiteboard.

I love when an underdog comes in and causes some major disruption.

Fairleigh Dickinson shocked the world Friday night, stunning Purdue 63-58 to pull off the NCAA Tournament's second-ever 16-over-1 upset, following in UMBC's footsteps when it beat Virginia in 2018.Yes, the Retrievers won by an eye-popping 20 points, but the Knights' monumental win was arguably...
