GREENVILLE, S.C. – Facing No. 1 South Carolina for the second time this season, Ole Miss was unable to push past the undefeated Gamecocks in the SEC Tournament Semifinals from Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Saturday, falling 80-51.

Ole Miss (23-8, 11-5 SEC) could not overcome the strength of South Carolina (31-0, 16-0 SEC) to hand the Gamecocks its lone loss of the season. After falling behind in the first quarter, the Rebels could not make up enough ground to comeback for a win.

Baker scored the Rebels' first points of the day off a smooth jumper, before South Carolina took command off a 7-0 run. A shooting slump hit the Rebels, as it seemed as if there was a lid on the basket towards the end of the first. Coming out of a timeout, a triple from followed by another from Singleton closed the gap to six. The Gamecocks used their size in the paint to their advantage to take a 25-14 lead through the first 10.

The men’s basketball team at Fairleigh Dickinson University, a private commuter school with a campus in Teaneck, N.J., went 4-22 last season. Three of its best players and its coach were competing in Division II. And the Knights, playing in the Northeast Conference, didn’t even win their conference tournament, a title they normally would have needed to make the N.C.A.A. tournament.

And yet, Fairleigh Dickinson became just the second No. 16 seed ever to topple a 1 in the men’s tournament, by taking down Purdue, 63-58, in the first round on Friday. (In 2018, top-seeded Virginia lost to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. In the women’s tournament, No. 16 seed Harvard beat No. 1 Stanford in 1998.)

Fairleigh Dickinson, Barely in the N.C.A.A. Tournament, Topples Purdue in a ShockerThe 16th-seeded Knights were heavy underdogs to Purdue. But in 40 minutes on the court, none of that mattered.

“I love our guys — they’re tough, they’re gritty, the play their tails off,” Fairleigh Dickinson’s first-year coach, Tobin Anderson, said after the win. “That’s unbelievable. We just shocked the world, and it couldn’t happen to a better bunch of guys, a better bunch of fans, my family, the whole thing.”

So, who are these guys, and how big a deal is this?

This year’s roster is relatively new.

After nine years at St. Thomas Aquinas College, a Division II team in Sparkill, N.Y., Anderson was hired at Fairleigh Dickinson, a school of fewer than 8,000 students in Teaneck, N.J., with a campus that straddles the Hackensack River.

Anderson replaced Greg Herenda, who was fired after a four-win season in which F.D.U. finished ninth in the Northeast Conference. Anderson brought three of his players with him to Fairleigh Dickinson: guards Demetre Roberts and Grant Singleton and forward Sean Moore, who poured in 19 points against Purdue while playing Friday night in his hometown, Columbus, Ohio.

“Man, I felt amazing because I didn’t really think we was going to be here at this point in the season,” said Moore, who hit a huge straightaway 3-pointer to give his team a 61-56 lead with just over a minute left.

The 6-foot-4 Moore, the 5-foot-8 Roberts (from Mount Vernon, N.Y.) and the 5-9 Singleton (from Sumter, S.C.) are no strangers to the madness of March. Under Anderson, St. Thomas Aquinas won three straight East Coast Conference tournaments and appeared in the round of 16 three straight times in the Division II N.C.A.A. men’s tournament.

Roberts believes that the three have made a statement this season about the quality of players from Division II.

“I don’t really see a difference between DII and DI,” he said earlier this month.

Fairleigh Dickinson only made the field because another team was ineligible.

The Knights might not even be participating in this year’s N.C.A.A. tournament were it not for the ineligibility of Merrimack College. Merrimack beat F.D.U. on its home court, 67-66, to win the Northeast Conference championship game, but can’t participate in the tournament because it is in the fourth year of a transition from Division II to Division I.

Merrimack Won a Title, but the N.C.A.A. Tournament Will Have to Wait

The transitional period is a common but sometimes tense issue in college athletics, with universities agreeing to hold off on postseason play as they build up their facilities and other infrastructure to comply with the requirements of their new division.

“I hope moving forward for the kids’ sake, something is done about it because for four years what you’re doing is, you’re taking a kid’s whole career out of the equation‌,” Merrimack coach Joe Gallo said in the lead-up to the conference title game.

Merrimack ended its season on a 14-game winning streak.

This upset may have been foreshadowed by another Purdue upset last year.

Could Fairleigh Dickinson be the next St. Peter’s? Its players sure hope so, and Purdue might think so. The Boilermakers were upset by tiny St. Peter’s out of Jersey City, N.J., in the round of 16 a year ago.

They Came Out of Nowhere. Then They Went Everywhere.Dec. 25, 2022

Now, a year later, two other Jersey underdogs — No. 15 seed Princeton and No. 16 seed F.D.U. — have three combined N.C.A.A. tournament wins. And Fairleigh Dickinson is just 13 miles away from St. Peter’s.

Fairleigh Dickinson has a long way to go to match the whole tournament run by St. Peter’s, though. That team last season reached the round of 8 before being stopped by North Carolina.

The Knights are among the many mid-major programs which like to frequently test themselves against bigger schools. F.D.U. this season lost to Loyola-Chicago, Pittsburgh and St. Peter’s but beat St. Joseph’s of the Atlantic 10 Conference and Columbia of the Ivy League.

Before this season, F.D.U. had not gotten out of the first round in six previous tournament appearances, with only a win in a play-in game in 2019.

The last No. 16 over No. 1 upset was five years ago.

That game, when the University of Maryland, Baltimore County beat Virginia in 2018, the top overall seed in the tournament, was much, much different than Fairleigh Dickinson’s win on Friday night.

Mainly because it was an utter rout, 74-54. Much of the second half was a celebration for the Retrievers, who swaggered up and down the court knowing that they were barely being challenged.

Back then, U.M.B.C.’s social media team gained notoriety for their witty banter, especially on Twitter. And it punctuated Friday night’s upset with a memorable moment from “The Simpsons.”

A footnote: U.M.B.C. lost its second-round game that tournament to Kansas State.

Immediately, this ranks among the all-time upsets in March Madness.

Of course, these things can be subjective, but there’s an argument that Fairleigh Dickinson’s win over Purdue may rank as the greatest upset in the history of the tournament. Unlike U.M.B.C. in 2018, F.D.U. didn’t win its conference tournament, and it came out of the First Four, the play-in games that require a win to get into the round of 64.

U.M.B.C. finished its win over Virginia by a much larger margin, but it had been a 20-point underdog. Fairleigh Dickinson was a 23-point underdog to Purdue.

The Knights are also the shortest team in Division 1 — with an average height of 6-foot-1, according to KenPom.com — ranking 363rd out of 363 teams. Purdue featured 7-foot-4 Zach Edey, a contender for national player of the year honors.

What’s next for Fairleigh Dickinson?

The Knights will meet No. 9-seeded Florida Atlantic on Sunday.

“I know they play really hard and they believe,” said Dusty May, Florida Atlantic’s coach. “It’s gonna be a great game.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorneys from Singleton Schreiber today offered analysis of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed drinking water standards for "forever chemicals," which are perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

PFAS are a growing source of concern for public agencies, businesses, and individuals and increasingly the subject of federal legislation and nationwide litigation. These synthetic chemicals persist in drinking water in more than 2,800 communities throughout the United States and the human body for extended periods of time. While the risks of exposure are not yet fully known, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that prolonged exposure to PFAS can cause cancer, liver damage, decreased fertility, and increases the risk of asthma and thyroid disease. In addition, the CDC notes that PFAS are extremely persistent in the environment and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes, with the typical half-life of PFAS in the human body lasting from two to nine years.

The EPA's draft regulations proposed a maximum contaminant level (MCL) in a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for six Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"). The MCL protects public health because it sets a maximum level of contaminant allowed in drinking water from a public water system. Specifically, the EPA is proposing an enforceable MCL for two PFAS compounds, PFOA and PFOS, at 4 parts per trillion (4.0 nanograms/Liter), which is significantly lower than the previous screening level of 70 parts per trillion. The EPA anticipates that if these regulations are fully implemented, the regulations will reduce tens of thousands of PFAS-attributable illnesses or deaths.

This announcement creates a regulatory burden and expense for many of the nation's public entities and individuals faced with cleaning up PFAS contamination. Mitigating the property impacts of PFAS is a complex and costly undertaking. Properties with PFAS contamination typically require remediation, and finding efficient, cost-effective means of removing PFAS from contaminated water.

"This regulation is an important step that the EPA is taking to address chemicals that cause harm to public health. These new guidelines, together with the nation-wide litigation, will help public entities and individuals that have been harmed by these unsafe chemicals to hold the companies that manufactured them accountable," said Britt Strottman, who leads the public entity practice at Singleton Schreiber.

After these rules become final (likely before the end of 2023), the EPA wants water providers to monitor water supplied to the public, notify the public when PFAS are found in excess to the MCL and reduce the compounds when levels are too high. Litigation for water contamination and other injuries caused by PFAS through Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) has been consolidated in a multi-district litigation (MDL) in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, presided over by Judge Richard M. Gergel (Case No. MDL 2873). Presently there are over 2,000 cases consolidated in the MDL, compromised of public entities and individual plaintiffs seeking damages for cleanup costs and other harm. More than 40 Defendants have been sued in connection with the AFFF litigation to ensure they will be held accountable for the harm they caused, and the first bellwether trials are expected in June 2023. Talks are also underway for global resolution with key PFAS Defendants, including Dupont and 3M.

"This announcement is a major step forward and should aid state and regional oversight agencies in establishing regulations that are more protective of human health and the environment. By working collaboratively with their local counterparts, these new standards will ensure a cleanup of PFAS and provide for clean and safe drinking water for our communities," said Michael Cassidy, a PFAS geologist and hydrologist for Group Delta (a frequent Singleton Schreiber consultant).

Public entities and private individuals that suspect PFAS contamination and exposure should consult with an attorney and have testing and sampling conducted by an expert to determine contamination levels.
