NCAA Men's Tourney Wrap-Up: Second Round

--Allyson Burger--

As the second round of games in the March Madness Tournament comes to an end tonight, many fans' brackets have been taking some big hits and are starting to suffer, my three brackets included. Thursday, the first day of second round play, came close to making history when #1 Gonzaga came close to losing to #16 Southern U. Later that night came two more early upsets -- #12 California beat #5 University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), and #14 Harvard beat #3 New Mexico.

So far today, Friday, major upsets have included the Kansas State matchup with La Salle and the Ole Miss win over Wisconsin.
