    A 15 seed has never made the round of 16, but I doubt one has had a cupcake matchup like this.

    Find myself crushing after Lehigh, but I feel they are going to get crushed.

    This game looks more like a matchup you would see in the CBI or NIT.

    Kenpom has Xavier only winning by 1, for what it's worth.

    Lehigh not your typical 15 seed. They are battle-tested this season....and could very well become the 1st 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16, IMO.

    C.J. McCollum can ball. The moutain hawks are a good team. I could see them beating Xavier.

    xavier talented enough to beat most teams (have them in sweet 16 in my bracket, obviously had them facing puke but whatever) that said they really havnt been right since the brawl and i certainly dont trust them enough to put down any money on them....gl whatever you decide..

    Are you serious? Xavier isn't that good and they are a 10 seed.

    This is the best possible matchup Lehigh could have. Lehigh is pretty good and Xavier has been very average since the brawl. I think Lehigh has a great chance to win.

    Line is about right. I don't understand how you're so baffled here. Lehigh was the better team when they played Duke. Why would it be a shocker for them to be +3.5 against a beatable Xavier team?

    The perk of winning as a 15 seed is that you get to play a lower seed in the second round that the #2 seed was supposed to play.
