No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson didn’t just take down No. 1 Purdue in historic fashion on Friday night.
It also busted all of the remaining brackets for the 2023 NCAA men’s tournament.
The gigantic upset victory for Fairleigh Dickinson erased any possibility that anyone who filled out a bracket this year would remain perfect, as not many would’ve expected Purdue to bow out of the tournament so quickly.
However, the Cinderella story of Cinderella stories had other plans, as the brackets fell to the wayside as the Knights pulled off the unbelievable win.
If you were depending on Purdue to win to keep your bracket alive, Fairleigh Dickinson says sorry not sorry.
