Friday's second-round action opened with a bang as the 14th-seeded Mercer Bears shocked the third-seeded Duke Blue Devils in Raleigh, N.C., per SportsCenter on Twitter:

The Atlantic Sun tournament champions outscored the ACC powerhouse 20-8 over the final five minutes to bust brackets across America and secure a berth in the third round. 

Led by Jakob Gollon's 20 points, the Bears overcame some poor play on the boards to beat a hot-shooting Duke squad that knocked in 15 three-pointers. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, they were only 7-of-25 as a team from inside the arc. On the other hand, Mercer went 20-of-32 from inside the three-point line and only turned the ball over eight times. 

Duke's freshman superstar Jabari Parker got in foul trouble early in the second half and struggled with his jump shot, going 0-of-3 from deep. Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon kept Duke in it, combining for 43 points and 12 made three-pointers.

In addition to their ability to beat Duke up inside, the Bears were aided by their experience, as KUSports.com's Tom Keegan points out: 

Mercer starts five seniors and will continue to rely on its experience as it gears up for a third-round clash on Sunday. 

West Region: No. 12 NDSU Topples No. 5 Oklahoma in Overtime, 80-75 

The Harvard Crimson became the first No. 12 seed to advance on Thursday, but many had picked the Ivy League champions to knock off Cincinnati. Hours later, the 12th-seeded North Dakota State Bison defeated the fifth-seeded Oklahoma Sooners in an even bigger surprise.

ESPN Stats & Info highlights just how unpredictable the two results were: 

Naturally, the Bison and head coach Saul Phillips were jubilant afterward, per SI.com's Lindsay Schnell: "Anyone can enjoy this. It’s the All-American 12-5 upset."

Lawrence Alexander propelled the Bison, scoring 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting in 45 minutes. The junior guard played the entire game including overtime and hurt the Sooners from almost everywhere on the court, per ESPN Stats & Info:

North Dakota State will take on fourth-seeded San Diego State on Saturday for a spot in the Sweet 16. The Aztecs avoided an upset against No. 13 New Mexico State late Thursday night, winning by four points in overtime.  

But Steve Fisher's side will have to find a way to slow down Alexander if the Aztecs hope to play into the second week. 

South Region: No. 11 Dayton Upsets In-State Rival No. 6 Ohio State, 60-59

The 2014 NCAA tournament second round began in dramatic fashion on Thursday afternoon when the 11th-seeded Dayton Flyers scored the go-ahead basket with 3.8 seconds remaining to eliminate sixth-seeded Ohio State.

Keep in mind that the Buckeyes had made four consecutive Sweet 16 appearances coming in.

USA Today's Erik Brady breaks down how the Flyers pulled the upset:

"

Dayton used fast-break opportunities where they could find them and a big inside presence from center Matt Kavanaugh to get the best of the behemoth Buckeyes in the first half, and Ohio State's rugged half-court defense broke down in places as the game slipped away in the second half. The 11th-seeded Flyers from the Atlantic 10 beat their Big Ten neighbors by never backing down and their confidence grew as the crowd urged on the underdogs against the brand-name Buckeyes, who were the 6-seed.

"

Vee Sanford, who banked in the game-winner from in close, talked about his huge shot after the game, per The Associated Press via ESPN.com: "No, I wasn't nervous. We've drawn up a play like that, and I messed it up previously. But (coach Archie Miller) just kept his trust in me, and I'm just thankful that the shot went in."

Sanford and Dayton will look to extend their Cinderella run on Saturday against third-seeded Syracuse. And if the Flyers can defend the three-point line the way they did against the Buckeyes, they'll have an excellent shot to stay alive.
