The second round of March Madness (the first round being the First Four) commences and the Giant Killers strike! Popular upset choices fulfill their predictions, including the President's.

Harvard, the Ivy League champion and predicted by about 30% to make an upset, was only a 12^th seed while Cincinnati was 5^th. The Crimson won the game, 61-57.

From ESPN: "Wesley Saunders led the Crimson (27-4) with 12 points as Harvard proved last year's upset of New Mexico as a 14 seed was no fluke. The Crimson became the first Ivy League school with NCAA tournament wins in consecutive years since Princeton in 1983-84. They will play either Michigan State or Delaware in the third round."

As seen on their broadcast of President Barack Obama's bracket, the upset was predicted by 30.5% of ESPN registered brackets.

The recap continues: "There was a reason Harvard was a popular upset pick. That reason: defense and balance. All five starters averaged in double figures for the season and that balance was needed against Cincinnati's aggressive defense. Laurent Rivard, the Crimson's 3-point specialist, finished with 11 points, while Steve Moundou-Missi and Brandyn Curry both scored nine."

Another upset on the first day of action saw 11^th seed Dayton taking out Ohio State. The in-state rivals had a cliffhanger with Dayton winning 60-59.

Ohio State Buckeyes guard Aaron Craft missed a shot that would've won the game.

He told ESPN: "I just wanted to do everything I could to help our team win, and down the stretch I couldn't do that today. I can take the blame for that."

Sam Thompson led Ohio State with 18 points, and Craft scored 16.

Craft was asked about whether Dayton can stake claim to being the state's better basketball school for one year at least.

"Sorry, I have zero thoughts on that right now. I'm upset at the way we played this game, and the way we didn't take the opportunity and make the most of it."
