[ifmanis5]

LOL awesome!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

BIG!!!!

 

[canderson]

Yessssssssssss!!!!!!!

 

[Spelunker]

Fuck you, Perdue

 

[ifmanis5]

This rules.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Timeout????

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Holy shit

 

[jon abbey]

So many blocked shots by FDU near the end, amazing for different NJ teams to knock out Purdue in back to back years (a #15 and $16 seed).

 

[loshjott]

Fairly Ridiculous no more.

 

[canderson]

Matt Painter: perennial disappointer

 

[shawnrbu]

Might be an icy handshake for that timeout.

 

[Humphrey]

UMBC has company!

 

[canderson]

Fucking awesome - that’s a bigger upset imo than UMBC. FD didn’t even win its conference or conference tourney.

Edit: their last regular season game they lost to freaking Merrimack

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Farleigh Ridiculous

 

[wibi]

FDUbelieveIt

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is the biggest upset ever in NCAA

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Princeton who?

 

[Humphrey]

Why would you play defense in that situation....get a good 10 feet from every Purdue guy, let them dunk it and the game is over.

 

[CFB_Rules]

I feel bad for the big guy Edey but every other player should perhaps consider a different hobby

 

[ifmanis5]

Love it. Tear your brackets baby.

 

[tims4wins]

FDU didn’t even with their conference tourney.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Why would you play defense in that situation....get a good 10 feet from every Purdue guy, let them dunk it and the game is over.

That's the crazy thing about college basketball, they play balls to the wall to the buzzer even in blowouts. It's nuts.

 

[Wings]

Anyone get Ted Lasso vibes from the FDU coach? Lol.

 

[canderson]

This is the biggest upset ever in NCAA

Agree

 

[mauf]

Providence 5-23 from 3.

It’s a different game if they hit just two more along the way.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is Duke gonna win the championship?

 

[jon abbey]

This is what the US looks like to Purdue:

 

[Bongorific]

Christ even my alma matter Stonehill beat them 70-59 in late January and we’ve only been D1 for a hot minute.

“Perdon’t” and “Perdidn’t” now trending on Twitter

What do they have against chicken?
Should be Purdon’t and Purdidn’t.

Edit: or I’m missing a joke.

 

[tims4wins]

Purdue has lost to a 13, 15, and 16 in the last 3 years. Um.

 

[bsj]

My bracket is just DESTROYED.

I had Purdue winning the title and playing Arizona in the Final Four.
I had Providence going to the Sweet 16.

Wow. I may finish last

 

[canderson]

Purdue has lost to a 13, 15, and 16 in the last 3 years. Um.

it’s almost like guard play matters!

Nah, to be “Frank” I think you have it right - will leave my shame unedited.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Matt Painter. Bob Huggins. Mark Few. It’s really never gonna happen for some of these guys. Just got that choke gene.

My OCD is kicking in to hyperdrive. Really need him to lose to a 14 seed next season.

 

[twibnotes]

Feel far worse for Purdue than happy for FD

That's the uva effect

But that fd coach seems great

That's amazing

 

[ifmanis5]

FDU is the new St. Peter's but upgraded.

 

[MuzzyField]

Does the Zags win vest Timme for his pension?

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Between Princeton, FDU and Saint Peters last year... don't mess with a a big underdog from Jersey.

 

[canderson]

15 or so miles between the two (FDU has a few campuses so I picked the closest)

Triangle of sadness.

 

[canderson]

Drake v Miami is a good game. Drake’s best player is having a horrible night thus far but Drake is up 6 with 6 or or so left.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Jersey has not seen a shocking upset like this since Janice shot Richie Aprile.

 

[loshjott]

Chaminade over Ralph Sampson and UVA is probably a bigger upset on paper but the stakes were way higher today.

 

[tims4wins]

As a reminder, FDU had to win on Wednesday night to even get here.

 

[AB in DC]

Fucking awesome - that’s a bigger upset imo than UMBC. FD didn’t even win its conference or conference tourney.

And they had to win a First Four play-in.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

And they had to win a First Four play-in.

Yeah this is the key. It's possible, before the play-in games, that UMBC would have been a 15 (often America East is). But when you take two 16s and move them to a playoff, one 15 moves to a 16.

FDU was a 16 and a bad one. This is bigger.
