Ted Keith: Lehigh claims upset for ages by disposing of mighty Duke

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The only place that was safe from the Madness Friday night may have been the tiny locker room that the Lehigh Mountain Hawks found themselves in as they awaited the tipoff of their game against Duke. Only minutes before, Norfolk State had become the fifth No. 15 seed ever to beat a No. 2 in tourney history, the first time it had happened since 2001. News of the Spartans' upset was everywhere -- except in Lehigh's locker room, where the players had no idea what had taken place out in Omaha. Head coach Brett Reed knew what had happened but he didn't mention it to his team. Instead, he wrote a message on the whiteboard that speaks just as much to his team as it does to underdogs everywhere and to all those who put their faith each March into the magical powers of the unexpected.
