Bleacher Report: Seahawks will take down Duke, make Sweet 16
NCAA Tournament 2016: Early Predictions for Sweet 16 Teams Post-Selection Sunday
Most NCAA tournaments have at least one team that completes a major surprise in the first weekend. Whether it's Valparaiso, Davidson or Gonzaga, unlikely teams tend to emerge.
This year, North Carolina-Wilmington is that team. The Seahawks have what appears to be a brutal opening-round opponent in Duke, but North Carolina-Wilmington will not be intimidated by the Blue Devils.
The Seahawks have won 16 of their last 18 games, and they have a big-time scorer in Chris Flemmings who is averaging 16.1 points per game. They also have an underrated head coach in Kevin Keatts, who is going to prepare the Seahawks for a major upset.
North Carolina-Wilmington will face a brutal Baylor team in the next round, and while that game will be tough, the Seahawks will survive as the No. 12 seed.
Can you say cover of Sports Illustrated?

That's fine and good, except we are not a 12 seed......
