March Madness kicked off earlier this week and seemed rather mundane until Friday night.
Before this year’s tournament a #15 seed had beaten a #2 only four times in all of history. On Friday it happened twice: Missouri lost to Norfolk State and the team that always seems to be in the Final Four, Duke, lost to #15 Lehigh.
