While everyone loves the thrill of victory, nothing quite stings like the agony of defeat. Purdue learned this lesson the hard way during March Madness.
As a No. 1 seed who lost to the No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the NCAA tournament in the East Region, the Boilermakers learned the true meaning of the word upset on Friday evening.
After the game, as FDU celebrated their historic victory, it certainly seems as if someone was very angry in the Purdue locker room and may have it out on an innocent whiteboard.

As a No. 1 seed like Purdue was, it would obviously be frustrating for anyone on the team or the staff to lose to a No. 16 seed like FDU.
But the damage done to the whiteboard looks like it took more than just a single move. This probably needed several moments of real impact before eventually looking like that.
Purdue has now lost to a No. 16 seed, a No. 15 seed and a No. 13 seed in the past three NCAA tournaments. That is… not great!
