- No. 1 Purdue fell to No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the men's NCAA tournament.
- It's just the second time in tournament history that a 16-seed has defeated a 1-seed.
No. 1 Purdue made the wrong kind of history on Friday night, $4.
It's just $4 that a 1-seed has failed to escape the first round, with the Boilermakers joining $4.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Purdue's dismay could be read on their faces as they walked off the court.

It wasn't the only whiteboard casualty of Friday's $4 action.
Earlier in the day, Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo had snapped a whiteboard right in his hands after a disappointing conversation with a referee.

While the whiteboards met the same fate, the teams did not, as No. 7 Michigan State ultimately beat out No. 10 USC for a spot in the round of 32.
As for Purdue, they're left to wonder what happened and look toward next year.
