Every college basketball fan’s favorite weekend has finally concluded after four straight days of thrilling and nail-biting basketball was played. The NCAA Men’s and Women’s tournament took place among various regions, and it is safe to say that March did not disappoint once again. There were many games that were neck and neck and multiple Cinderella stories that captured America’s hearts. Whether it was the astounding comeback from the 13 seed Furman Paladins over Virginia, or the Sweet 16 run that the Princeton Tigers miraculously achieved, underdogs reigned supreme once again. But there was one underdog that nearly every fan fell in love with. This was the 16 seed Fairleigh-Dickinson squad that pulled out most likely the biggest upset in tournament history as it knocked off the number one seeded Purdue in a game that went to the wire. The passion displayed by the players as well as the very likable coach, Tobin Anderson, the Knights were a team that anyone could cheer for. Unfortunately, their run was cut short by the Florida Atlantic Owls by a score of 78-70. This does not take away the story of that team and they will be etched in men’s basketball lore forever.
