Lehigh upsets Duke in the second round
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 03 - 2012

C.J. McCollum scored 30 points and Lehigh upset Duke 75-70 Friday in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Lehigh became the sixth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and the first since Norfolk State pulled off the trick earlier in the day.
Duke dropped its first tournament game for only the second time in the past 16 years.
The Blue Devils had no answer for McCollum, a speedy guard who's a two-time Patriot League player of the year and the nation's fifth-leading scorer. It didn't help that the Blue Devils hit just 6 of 26 shots from 3-point range.
Lehigh (27-7) led most of the game, drawing support from North Carolina fans who borrowed brown signs from Mountain Hawks supporters that read “Go Lehigh” to root against their rivals.
No. 15 Norfolk State 86, No. 2 Missouri 84: Kyle O'Quinn had 26 points and 14 rebounds, making several key plays in the closing minutes, and No. 15 seed Norfolk State held on to stun second-seeded Missouri in the West Regional.
Pendarvis Williams and Chris McEachin each added 20 points for the MEAC champion Spartans (26-9), who made their first trip to the NCAA tournament a memorable one. They became the fifth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and the first since fellow conference member Hampton in 2001.
No. 3 Florida State 66, No. 14 St. Bonaventure 63: Bernard James scored 19 points and Florida State barely avoided a big upset, rallying to beat St. Bonaventure.
The Seminoles (25-9) shook off a slow start and won their sixth straight game, including their run to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship last week. They will play sixth-seeded Cincinnati Sunday in the third round.
Andrew Nicholson scored 20 points and Demetrius Conger had 14 for St. Bonaventure (20-12).
No. 1 North Carolina 77, No. 16 Vermont 58: Tyler Zeller had 17 points and 15 rebounds to help North Carolina beat Vermont despite playing without injured starter John Henson.
Freshman forward James Michael McAdoo added a season-high 17 points for the Tar Heels (30-5).
Sandro Carissimo had 11 points for the Catamounts (24-12).
No. 3 Georgetown 74, No. 14 Belmont 59: Jason Clark scored 21 points, Otto Porter added 16 and Georgetown's ruthless defense bottled up Belmont's shooters, sending the Hoyas into the next round.
Henry Sims had 15 points for the Hoyas (24-8).
Blake Jenkins scored 17 to lead Belmont, which went just 10 of 27 on 3-pointers.
Other results: No. 7 Florida 71, No. 10 Virginia 45; No. 6 Cincinnati 65, No. 11 Texas 59; No. 8 Creighton 58, No. 9 Alabama 57; No. 11 North Carolina State 79, No. 6 San Diego State 65; No. 13 Ohio 65, No. 4 Michigan 60; No. 9 Saint Louis 61, No. 8 Memphis 54; No. 10 Purdue 72, No. 7 Saint Mary's 69;No. 3 Georgetwon 74, No. 14 Belmont 59; No. 1 Michigan 89, No. 16 Long island 67; No. 10 Xavier 67, No. 7 Notre Dame 63; No. 12 S. Florida 58, No. 5 Temple 44; No. 2 Kansas 65, No. 15 Detroit 50.
