SPOKANE, Wash. -- Those kids from Harvard are getting a
passing grade when it comes to the first game of the NCAA
tournament. Ask New Mexico last year. Ask Cincinnati now.
Siyani Chambers scored 11 points, including five straight
in the final two minutes, and 12th-seeded Harvard won its
second NCAA tournament game in history, upsetting
Cincinnati 61-57 Thursday. Wesley Saunders led the
Crimson (27-4) with 12 points as Harvard proved last
years 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. Harvard never trailed after the
opening moments. They played with confidence and scrap
against the No. 5 seed Bearcats, who shared the American
Athletic Conference regular season title. Sean Kilpatrick
led seed Cincinnati (27-7) with 18 points, but the
Bearcats failed to win a tournament game for the second
straight year. There was a reason Harvard was a popular
upset pick. Even President Barack Obama had the Crimson
taking out the Bearcats. The reason: defence and balance.
All five starters averaged in double figures for the
season and that balance was needed against Cincinnatis
aggressive defence. Laurent Rivard of Saint-Bruno, Que.,
the Crimsons three-point specialist, finished with 11
points -- including nine from long range -- and four
rebounds. Steve Moundou-Missi and Brandyn Curry both
scored nine. Harvard also improved to 15-0 this season
when holding its opponent to 60 points or less. They
entered the tournament with the 13th best scoring defence
in the country. That defence helped overcome a shaky
performance at the free throw line where Harvard was 17
of 28. Cincinnati had its chances. Justin Jackson
finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds, but the Bearcats
shot only 37 per cent and missed a number of shots around
the rim. Harvard withstood the early second-half push
from the Bearcats. Jacksons dunk while being fouled and
subsequent free throw pulled Cincinnati within 42-39 and
Titus Rubles driving layup later trimmed the margin to
45-43. The Crimson then forced turnovers on three
straight Bearcats possessions. Saunders flipped in a
driving finger roll to push the lead to five. As Harvard
went to the bench for a timeout, Chambers grinned and
coach Tommy Amaker pumped his fists in approval. Harvard
was not going to be denied another moment. They got
second and third chances at their own misses. They
littered the floor scrounging for loose balls. Cincinnati
went more than five minutes without scoring. But the
Bearcats fought back and cut the lead to one before
Chambers stepped up. He hit a pullup 17-footer with 1:57
left for a 56-53 lead. Kyle Casey then drew an offensive
foul against Kilpatrick with 1:33 left. Chambers hit a
trio of free throws in the final minute and Saunders
sealed it hitting a pair with 11 seconds left, setting
off the celebration.

disappointment in Washington. Nene and Marcin Gortat
quickly made up for that.Nene scored 20 points, three
other Washington big men were in double figures, and the
Wizards beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-90 on Saturday night to
split their home-and-home series.Overpowered by Brook
Lopez on Friday in their building, the Wizards bounced
back behind 10 points and 16 rebounds from Gortat, and
strong bench efforts from Kris Humphries (13 points) and
Kevin Seraphin (12).We knew that its going to be a tough
game for us but end of the day, me and Nene, we believe
we are one of the most dominant big men in the league and
unfortunately we didnt play that way yesterday, Gortat
said. Today was a little bit different. We dominated the
game and we helped our team to win this game.Bradley Beal
finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and eight assists
for the Wizards, who shot 52 per cent from the field to
overcome their 14-of-27 effort from the free throw
line.Jarrett Jack had 22 points and eight assists for the
Nets. They had snapped a seven-game losing streak with
their 102-80 victory Friday, when Nene and Gortat
combined for just 15 points.Lopez scored 26 points off
the bench in that game and had 13 by halftime of this
one. But the Wizards held him to two points after the
break and turned around the game with an 18-2 run in the
third quarter.Tonight obviously they came in here a
little bit more desperate knowing that we went into
Washington last night and got a win. We knew we were
going to get their best shot today but I thought we
played great, Nets forward Joe Johnson said. I just think
down the stretch we couldnt get stops and we couldnt make
the shots to get us over the hump.The Nets led 51-50
after a close first half in which neither team led by
more than five. A good start to the third quarter had
them ahead 63-56 five minutes into the period. But Nene
and Gortat began wearing them ddown, scoring 10 straight
to go ahead 66-63 when Nene dunked forcefully between
Kevin Garnett and Lopez.ddddddddddddJack stopped the run
with a basket, but Washington answered with eight more in
a row to build a 74-65 advantage on Rasual Butlers
basket.Brooklyn tied it at 81 early in the fourth before
Seraphin had two baskets and Humphries another in an 8-2
burst that made it 89-83 midway through the period, and
Nene had a three-point play about 3 minutes later after
the Nets had cut it to three.The backcourt of John Wall
and Beal gets most of the attention, but Gortat said
people shouldnt forget how good Washingtons forwards
are.I dont really pay attention to what people think
about our team and stuff like that, Humphries said. For
me its just doing what weve got to do. We lost last game
so this was a must-win for us.TIP-INSWizards: Paul Pierce
received a mixed reception when he was announced with the
Washington starters. The veteran forward played last
season for the Nets before signing with Washington in
July. ... Washington improved to 23-1 overall and 8-0 on
the road when holding opponents to less than 100
points.Nets: Lopez got two points he didnt really deserve
in the first quarter when Gortat tipped a missed free
throw by Mason Plumlee into his own basket. Lopez got
credit as the closest Nets player. ... Garnett, playing
both ends of a back-to-back for one of the few times this
season, had eight points and 10 rebounds. He fell to 10-9
against Pierce, his former teammate in Boston and
Brooklyn.HALFWAY THEREBoth teams reached the midpoint of
their seasons Saturday. While Washington is 28-13 and one
of the top teams in the East, Brooklyn is a disappointing
17-24 but still in playoff position.Well, in the first 41
we didnt win enough games, coach Lionel Hollins said, and
in the second 41 I hope we win a lot more.UP NEXTWizards:
Host Philadelphia on Monday.Nets: Visit Sacramento on
Wednesday. White
