FDU vs. Furman for the National Championship!!

But seriously, what an incredible, improbable victory. Smallest team in Division 1 against one of the tallest teams (at least a team with one of the tallest, best players in the nation). FDU only won 4 games a year ago and here they are in the Round of 32. How Purdue could only get the ball into Edey once in the last 9 minutes is mystifying.

So we have a 1, 2 and 3 seed all lose. I love it.

Unreal! Anyone know how FD even got in? They lost their conference CG to Merrimack!

Merrimack wasn't eligible for the tournament. They are still transitioning from D-2.

Wow, thank you! Makes it even more crazy that under normal circumstances they wouldn’t have been in. Hell they wouldn’t even get invited to the NIT or CBI with their record in that conference!
