Purdue became just the second No. 1 seed ever to lose to a No. 16 seed in the NCAA men's basketball tournament after a shocking 63-58 upset by Fairleigh Dickinson.
Virginia was the only other No. 1 seed to lose in the first round with its 2018 loss to UMBC.
Purdue had high expectations entering the 2023 tournament after winning the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles. It was enough to earn the fourth No. 1 seed in the field.
However, the excitement disappeared during the first-round matchup as Fairleigh Dickinson continued to make big shots to stay competitive with the top seed.
