GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Lehigh Mountain Hawks said they weren't afraid of mighty Duke.
    Maybe no one believed them at the time, but the Patriot League champions proved they were serious.
    C.J. McCollum scored 30 points and Lehigh upset Duke, 75-70, to become the second No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 during a wild Friday in the NCAA tournament.
    The Mountain Hawks are the sixth 15 seed overall to pull off the trick. Norfolk State edged Missouri, 86-84, in the West Regional earlier in the day, and No. 13 seed Ohio knocked off Michigan to add to the madness.
    Duke dropped its first tournament game for only the second time in the past 16 years, and this one occurred just 55 miles from its campus. The Blue Devils also lost their opener against 11th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth in 2007.
    The Blue Devils had no answer for the speedy McCollum, the two-time Patriot League player of the year and the nation's fifth-leading scorer.
    It didn't help that the Blue Devils hit just 6 of 26 shots from 3-point range.
    Lehigh (27-7) led most of the game, drawing support from North Carolina fans who borrowed brown signs from Mountain Hawks supporters that read "Go Lehigh" to root against their rivals.
    Lehigh coach Brett Reed said before the game his team came to Greensboro to do more than just compete — and that's exactly what it did.
    The Mountain Hawks led most of the first half despite shooting just 38 percent from the field.
    Lehigh grabbed the lead for good at the 8:21 mark of the second half when Mackey McKnight made a 3-pointer.
    The Mountain Hawks' momentum continued to build as the game went on and they started to pull away in the final three minutes.
    McCollum hit a 3-pointer off a screen from Gabe Knutson and John Adams followed with a breakaway dunk to push the lead to 61-54 with two minutes to go.
    Duke got as close as three points twice in the final 30 seconds, including when Quinn Cook hit a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining.
