After defeating Texas Southern in the First Four, Fairleigh Dickinson will be rewarded with a matchup against Purdue, the No. 1 overall seed in the East Region.
The Knights will have their work cut out for them against Wooden Award frontrunner Zach Edey. On Wednesday night, the Knights rolled out a starting five that did not include a player over 6-foot-6.
his starting five makes Fairleigh Dickinson the shortest team in college basketball in terms of average height.
Although the Knights used their defensive pressure to overcome this height disadvantage in their opening game, they face a completely different challenge in Edey’s Boilermakers.
