Yeah, definitely Lehigh. Georgetown was considered a bit weak going in so it didn't come overly surprising that they lost.

At the time, it was probably FGCU, just because nobody had ever heard of that university.  Lehigh had beaten Kansas a few years before and it's a fancy east coast school that people have heard of.  However, in terms of talent versus perception, it was Lehigh.

Lehigh. People who knew basketball knew that Florida Gulf Coast was underranked (they had beaten Miami earlier in the year), and it wasn't too surprising to see Georgetown do Georgetown things.
