Students gathered for a MarchMadness watch party on Fairleigh Dickinson's campus Sunday, and while their school isn't moving on in the NCAA Tournament, they're still proud. KristieKNews reports.
"We always see them running on the court. They're really hard workers," freshman Skylar Goldman said.In a major upset Friday, FDU beat Purdue, becoming only the second No. 16 team to beat a No. 1 team. They're also the shortest average team in the tournament, with an average height of only 6-feet-1-inch."What I see... Teamwork, just loving the game, hard work, just trusting each other, trusting the coach," he said.
Fairleigh Dickinson's Teaneck campus has only about 6,500 students overall, between grad and undergrad, and students at the watch party told CBS2 they're happy to see the university's finally gotten the recognition it deserves. "It's amazing because we're a really small school, so like everyone knowing us now is really cool," freshman Abbey McDonald said.
Students return to campus Monday from spring break with one more reason to be proud to be an FDU Knight.
