Midnight struck for Cinderella as the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights played a close game, but fell to another school on a fairytale run.

FDU fell to Florida Atlantic 78-70 to lose in the Round of 32 of the 2023 NCAA Tournament as the Owls of FAU will be moving on to the Sweet 16.

It’s an amazing result for a Florida Atlantic program that went into only their second NCAA tournament ever having never won a March Madness game in its history. Now, they’re off to the school’s first Sweet 16.
