As an NEC follower, a few notes:
- Fairleigh Dickinson was a person who served the country in both World War I and II
- FDU plays in the NEC which was ranked as their worst conference in the country this season by basically all metrics. It was the worst season for the conference in the league's history.
- FDU won 4 overall games last season but won 5 conference games (COVID!)
- FDU was the only team in the country last year to get knocked out of their conference tournament in FEBRUARY. They didn't even play a game in the month of March last year.
- FDU was the lowest ranked team in the NET rankings in the NCAA Tournament this year (The only team over 300).
- FDU was up in their confernce tournament title game 66-59 with 2:56 but melted down and didn't score another point.
- FDU lost a game this year to the team ranked 363 of 363 in the NET - Hartford (who is leaving for D3 but beat FDU by 8 points on their way out).
- FDU also beat the 362 of 363 team by one point.
- FDU is really the first 16 seed to beat a 1. UMBC was really a 15 seed who beat a 1 since they weren't in the play-in and would have been a 15 seed in most of tournament history
