If you'd ask anybody if they had Lehigh beating Duke on their NCAA Tournament bracket, they'd probably say "no."
Joining Norfolk State, Lehigh is one of the other teams to spark an upset in this year's tournament as they dropped the Duke Blue Devils, 75-70.
C.J. McCollum lead the Mountain Hawks with 30 points as the No. 15-seed knocked of the No. 2 seed. They become the sixth 15-seed to knock off a 2-seed ever.
This is the second time ever that Duke has lost in their first tournament game in the past 16 years. The last time was against the 11-seed Virginia Commonwealth in 2007. They just couldn't stop McCollum, who ranked fifth in the nation in scoring and is a two-time Patriot League player of the year.
Lehigh led for much of the game and had North Carolina fans jumping in joy. It was all over with 8:21 remaining when Mackey McKnight hit a three-pointer.
The Mountain Hawks will face the winner of the Notre Dame/Xavier game next.
