Is this the first time two #2 seeds were eliminated in the first round?

i have to imagine it is... i think there were only 4 ever

ala wiki:

There have been six 15-seeds to defeat 2-seeds in the first round of the tournament.

Year	Winner	Loser	Score
2012	Lehigh	Duke	75-70
2012	Norfolk State	Missouri	86-84
2001	Hampton	Iowa State	58-57
1997	Coppin State	South Carolina	78-65
1993	Santa Clara	Arizona	64-61
1991	Richmond	Syracuse	73-69

I'm glad my bracket isn't completely busted like most of the nation.

I picked Missouri to the E8, and I picked Lehigh to beat Duke.

Yep.

And coach_billy is right. Before today, a 15 seed has only beat a two seed four times. Now it's 6...possibly 7 after the Kansas game! 

you know, i really don't hate duke as passionately throughout the season as i do now. its got to be when you hit tourney time and they play that chest-stomping crystal meth smoking laettner's shot every 10 minutes, while gently stroking Duke's abnormally small, all-white male parts

Wow. Lehigh over Duke? Did you flip a coin or something?

No, here is why I picked Lehigh

1. I hate Duke
2. Lehigh had the attributes the other 4 winning 15 seeds (teams with those attributes were 4-8).

Detroit also has the same attributes as Lehigh and those other teams, but I thought I would be safer picking one team.

I see. Well nice pick. I also like Detroit a lot. Should be interesting to see if they can pull off the upset...

To be fair, NC gets the same kind of preferential treatment Duke does.  I dislike both.  For some reason Kentucky and UCLA don't seem to get the same advantages in spite of greater historical resumes and similar recent success (I didn't include Indiana since they've been sorta down for a while compared to the 4 programs I did name).

meeper123 sounds like a bracket science user to me!
