Everyone knows the statistics...a sixteen seed has never won a game against a one seed. Do not expect it to change this year. But if there ever was a year it might happen, this is it.
Lehigh Has A Shot To Beat Kansas. Yes We Are Serious.
↵An astute fan of the Lehigh Sports Forum (yes, I am as surprised as you are that they have a message board) pointed out that the 2010 Lehigh team has the identical characteristics that saw fellow conference-mate Bucknell upset Kansas back in 2005:
↵↵1. 2005: Kansas played the Patriot League champion. 2010: Kansas to play the Patriot League champion.
↵2. 2005: Kansas began the year ranked No. 1. 2010: Kansas began the year ranked No. 1.
↵3. 2005: Kansas enters the tournament ranked No. 1 in the RPI. 2010: Kansas enters the tournament ranked No. 1 in the RPI.
↵4. 2005: Game played on March 18. 2010: Game to be played on March 18.
↵5. 2005: Game played at Ford Center in Oklahoma City. 2010: Game to be played at Ford Center in Oklahoma City.
↵6. 2005: Game was late game of evening session. 2010: Game to be late game of evening session.
↵7. 2005: Northern Iowa played in the other game of the evening session. 2010: Northern Iowa will play in the other game of the evening session.
↵↵Let’s hope that the Kansas Jayhawks do not believe in déjà vu as they make a run for the national title. Just think of the millions of brackets that will be absolutely destroyed if Kansas did lose this game to the Engineers Mountain Hawks.
↵Absolute chaos.
