16 Seed beats 1 Seed....AGAIN!!

[OHHS old timer]

Final score from Columbus...

16 Fairleigh-Dickinson 63
1 Purdue 58

The Knights closed the game on a 23-11 run. The Boilermakers resembled the deer in the headlights. FDU was led by Sean Moore (from Columbus) with 19 points, including a BIG 3 to give the Knights a 5 point lead. Zach Edey led Purdue with yet another double-double...21 pts to go with 15 boards.

Turnovers...Purdue 16...FDU 9

Neither team shot well. FDU went 7/23 from 3 land while Purdue shot a terrible 5/26

This comes 5 years and a day after UMBC throttled #1 Virginia...74-54.

Capt. Obvious here...that should bust the remaining perfect brackets.

Forgot one thing...if I remember correctly

Last year...#2 Purdue lost to #15 St. Peters

If I'm wrong...my apologies to Boiler Nation

Thanks for the update Old Timer. Did not watch the game but the highlights were surreal. Sometimes heart outweighs talent.
