This is why they can't division out power 6 from everyone else. It's also exactly why they'll divide it up.

Incredible win! They outplayed them pretty much all game long. That's 2 early exits by this team in 2 years. FDU says "Big man, we don't need no stinkin' big man!!!".

3 exits in 3 years is what they said on the tube.

Didn't they make the sweet 16 last year? I wouldn't say that's an early exit.

St Peters beat them as a 15 last year.

I think they were trying to say that they were bounced from the tournament by a #10 - #16 seed teams in 3 consecutive tournaments.

Yes they did but I was saying it wasn't an early exit. They were beat in the sweet 16.

I had forgotten they were from the same conference as Merrimack which actually beat FDU but was ineligible for post-season play.

Stupid rule.

Each conference should put their best team forward but in this case, it was in the cards.

Great Cinderella story for Fairleigh Dickinson!
