Oh, those fabulous 15s.
Did they leave your bracket in shambles? Join the club.
And sit back and enjoy this one. Because 10 ? or 15 ? years from now, they still might be talking about Friday the 16th as the day the 15s rose up and produced one of the greatest days in NCAA tournament history.
First, Norfolk State knocked off Missouri. A few hours later, another 15, Lehigh, beat Duke. And just for good measure No. 13 Ohio beat Michigan, making this the first time that three teams seeded 13th or higher all won on the same day.
