The opening Thursday of March Madness featured two massive upsets, one by an Ivy League program with a giant-slaying history and the other by a SoCon team that hadn’t won an NCAA tournament game in nearly half a century.

And now Friday brought an even bigger one as No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson stunned No. 1 Purdue 63-58 in one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. It’s only the second time a 16 has ever beaten a 1 after UMBC knocked off Virginia in the 2018 tourney.
