Norfolk, Lehigh Send No. 2s Packing

Kyle O'Quinn's booming voice echoed through the halls, the jovial center for Norfolk State riding the euphoria of a monumental upset of Missouri as the words spilled out of his mouth faster than he could think. "We messed up some brackets! We messed up some brackets!" he bellowed, before turning a corner and seeing a pack of reporters. "We even messed up my bracket," he said sheepishly. O'Quinn put together the finest game of his career at the biggest moment in the history of Norfolk State basketball. The senior finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds, helping the No. 15 seed Spartans to an 86-84 victory over the second-seeded Tigers on Friday/Associated Press. More here.
