We can’t take our eyes off March Madness, because nights like the Knights’ are always possible.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Pure, unadulterated joy, entertainment and — oh yes, don’t forget this — exhilarating and thrilling surprise.
FDU did everything it came to do on a magical night, delivering a stunning 63-58 first-round victory over Purdue inin front of a sellout crowd at Nationwide Arena, earning a Round of 32 matchup with Florida Atlantic on Sunday. “What a night,’’ FDU coach Tobin Anderson said afterward, still breathless. “Incredible win for us. Incredible win for our program, our school. Hard to put it in words right now. It just happened, right?’’ USA TODAY Sports“We showed why we belong here,’’ FDU’s 5-foot-8 guard Demetre Roberts, one of the three players Anderson brought with him from Rockland County’s St. Thomas Aquinas College, said after scoring 12 points and dishing out four assists.
This is exactly how FDU and Anderson, who just 10 months ago took over a team that went 4-22 last season, did it. They followed the blueprint right down to the final detail. Fairleigh Dickinson didn’t even win the NEC Tournament, losing to Merrimack by one point in the title game. Merrimack, however, couldn’t play in the NCAA tourney because it’s still completing its four-year transition from Division II.
