March Madness got off to a pretty exciting start with Fairleigh Dickinson’s comeback win over Prairie View A&M in the First Four last night. The Knights trailed by as many as 13 in the second half before ending the game on a 48–29 run.
It was FDU’s first ever NCAA tournament win in its sixth appearance and the first postseason win for head coach Greg Herenda, who was even winless in four Division II tournament appearances at UMass Lowell.
After the game, Herenda was in the mood to celebrate and really let loose.
He also rewarded the hardcore FDU fans who made the 10-hour drive from New Jersey to be in Dayton to support their team by offering to buy them dinner.
