Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday night pulled off one of the biggest stunners in college basketball history, overwhelming Purdue to become just the second 16-seed ever to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

The Knights landed a historic upset in a year where the program did not win the NEC title game.
A year ago, No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson won a mere total of four games. On Friday, a year later, FDU delivered a shocking upset to No. 1 seed Purdue in a season that almost saw the program not play in the men’s NCAA tournament at all.
FDU plays in the Northeast Conference. However, the Knights did not win the NEC tournament, instead losing to Merrimack by one point in the title game.

The top-seeded Boilermakers suffered one the biggest upset in NCAA tournament history, losing to the 23.5-point underdog Knights.
No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson’s 63–58 win over top-seeded Purdue immediately moves to the top of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA tournament. Based on Sports Reference data, it’s the largest upset based on point spread in Big Dance history. The Knights were 23.5-point underdogs. The previous high: 21 points, when Norfolk State beat Missouri as a No. 15 seed in 2012.
