GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) ? At some point down the road, the Lehigh Mountain Hawks will truly appreciate what they accomplished in the NCAA tournament. [...] while that win will stand as one of the greatest upsets in NCAA tournament history, the Mountain Hawks left the Greensboro Coliseum with an empty feeling Sunday night. Kenny Frease scored a career-high 25 points to go with 12 rebounds for Xavier, and the Musketeers advanced to the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in five years. Xavier was ranked as high as eighth in the country earlier this season, but a midseason bench-clearing brawl that resulted in player suspensions seemed to turn the season on a sour note. Lehigh's shooting, on the other hand, wasn't so tremendous ? particularly in the second half with two separate stretches in which the team didn't make a basket for more than 6 minutes. The Musketeers held McCollum, the nation's fifth-leading scorer and Patriot League MVP, to 14 points on 5-of-22 shooting and overcame a 15-point first-half deficit. The Mountain Hawks started strong, opening a 35-20 lead behind 53 percent shooting and 14 first-half points from McKnight. The Mountain Hawks went more than 7 minutes without a field goal to start the second half ? missing their first 10 shots from the field ? and the Musketeers took advantage by going on a 14-3 spurt to take a 47-40 lead.
