PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Ohio turned in the biggest upset on Day One of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Armon Bassett scored 32 points to lead the Midwest Region's No. 14 seed to a 97-83 victory over Georgetown.

The Mid-American Conference champion Bobcats took the lead early on their 3-point shooting and the Hoyas were never able to seriously threaten.

Ohio will play Tennessee Saturday in Providence, R.I.

The sixth-seeded Vols beat San Diego State 62-59. The Aztecs closed to within one point in the final minute, but Melvin Goins crushed their upset hopes when he sank his fourth 3-pointer of the game with 19 seconds to go.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Lehigh proved itself scrappy, but that just wasn't enough to knock off Kansas.

The NCAA tournament's No. 1 overall seed pulled away midway through the second half and won 90-74 in the Midwest Regional. Marcus Morris led the Jayhawks with 26 points.

They'll face Northern Iowa in a second round game in Oklahoma City on Saturday.

A three-pointer with 5 seconds to go lifted Northern Iowa over UNLV 69-66.

Ali Farokhmanesh made the shot and finished with 17 points.

The Runnin' Rebels had one last chance to tie it, but Tre'Von Willis didn't get his 3-pointer off before the final buzzer.
