The upset of the tournament took place Friday night when Fairleigh Dickinson upended Purdue, the second time in NCAA history that a 16 seed has defeated a 1 seed. It's the second straight year the Boilermakers had been eliminated by a double-digit seed, with No. 15 St. Peter's doing the honors in 2022.
In another upset, No. 11 Pittsburgh, which earned its NCAA berth with a First Four win, knocked out No. 6 Iowa State. In Sunday's action, FDU will play No. 9 Florida Atlantic and Pitt goes against No. 3 Xavier.
