Make no Mistake, a 16 seed beat a 1

[GemParty]

LeHigh from the Patriot league, in round one of the tourney, Knocks out Perennial Favorite Villian Duke. Their numbers and rankings don't mean . You've waited a lifetime to see it happen, and on Friday it did. The nation should receive free tacos or stuffed crust pizzas today.

A private school from PA, with a bunch of no name players, and a coach 80% of this board couldn't name just flushed Duke, HOF Coach K, Dicky Vitale, brackets, Austin Rivers, Doc's smile, a Curry, and a bunch of brothers down the drain.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys. You can hang your banner, LeHigh! Like I said a month ago, kids who Earn a Free ride in college have Heart & Love for the game. It's about HUNGER, and always will be. The next time you reflect on UConn's history, remember when we had to face UNC in their backyard, and XXX team in a regional on their turf. Remember, LeHigh did this in Greensboro, and outplayed them wire to wire. No excuses, Survive and Advance.

History has been made.

Not really. Duke never should have been a #2 seed anyway. More like a #3 or #4. The Norfolk St. over Missouri is probably the closest we have come to a 16 beating a 1.

Frank Haith, couldn't hold Coach K's jock. My grandmother knows Coach K, and wouldn't know Haith if she ran him over in a Walmart parking lot. Think Big Picture.

Yeah I know what you meant and historically the Duke upset will be the first one people remember and it probably will go down as the biggest upset ever but in reality this wasn't one of Coach K's best teams and was horribly overseeded. Just look at Fishy's posts about how Duke would be a middle of the road Big East team.

big picture maybe. But mizz getting beaten at their own game is amazing.

I get your point but your stretching it.

people tend to forget the Lehigh was only a 12 point dog, Iowa St. is +11.5 today to put it in perspective

And we were +9.5 in the 1999 national championship game.
