Florida Atlantic ends Fairleigh Dickinson’s run for Sweet 16
Associated PressCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Fairleigh Dickinson came up just a little short this time. When their tourney ended, first-year coach Tobin Anderson and FDU’s players walked across the floor of Nationwide Arena to thank their fans, most of whom never expected to spend five days in Ohio watching their team make history. Demetre Roberts scored 20 points and Sean Moore had 14 for FDU, which didn’t even win the Northeast Conference tournament before becoming an NCAA team that won’t soon be forgotten. “We’re not just happy to be here.” FAU, which edged Memphis on Friday for the school’s first NCAA tourney win, finally took control late in the second half of a game that was played at high speeds and at times looked more like a playground pickup game. “But obviously when you’re playing FDU and they’re on the run they’re on, they’re easy to root for.” For Anderson and the Knights, the tournament is over.
