Overall: @BullDawg2021: So i've noticed that from a first viewing there looks to be quite a lot uncited. For example

• At the start of this game, NCAA tournament No. 16 seeds were 1–150 all-time against No. 1 seeds since the tournament field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. Five years prior to this game, the UMBC Retrievers became the first No. 16 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed, 74–54, over the Virginia Cavaliers.
• The team completed the regular season with a 19–15 record and a second-place finish in the NEC.
• the entire broadcast section
• the entire game summary section
• additionally, the Boilermakers had been eliminated in the first round of the 2021 tournament by 13-seed North Texas. Fairleigh Dickinson advanced to the Round of 32, in which they faced the 9-seed Florida Atlantic Owls on March 19, 2023. The game was competitive throughout the majority of the game, and the Knights led throughout the first ten minutes of the second half. However, the Owls won the game 78–70, thus ending FDU's two-game Cinderella run.

These are going to need to be fixed before I approve. Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:29, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I have added references to those parts of the article, if you would please review again! Thanks! @Onegreatjoke:

@BullDawg2021: Just need a citation for "The game drew 4.37 million viewers." at the reception section and we're good. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:25, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: Ok, I added a citation at that spot, so hopefully it is ready to go now.

Infobox ranking width

The width of the AP and Coaches rankings for FDU are way thinner than for Purdue, to the point where the "Coaches: NR" breaks onto a separate line. Can somebody who knows how to work infoboxes fix this? Skarmory (talk • contribs) 22:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

I've asked someone at the template talk page to look into it. FWIW, the mobile version of the page has equal width columns. Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
