Morristown, NJ
Got to love college Basketball. Really small school out of NJ beats the number 1 seed. They are the shortest team, height wise, in the tourney. A true Cinderella story.
Sorry to my Boilermaker friends , but what a great story.

I had that game on in the lounge at the co-op last night. A number of people stopped playing just long enough to watch the ending.
We didn't even know what FDU stood for at one point. Had to google it.
Pretty cool story about the coach & players coming from D2, if I remember correctly. Also cool that FDU didn't even win their conference, but made it due to another school not qualified to play in the tourney yet.

I grew up in central NJ, and I remember some people calling FDU Fairleigh Ridiculous. Not anymore! I hope they can keep going.

ESPN reported they are the shortest in Division 1. Dead last among 350 some schools.
