The West Regional's ninth-seeded Shockers toppled the No. 2 seed, Ohio State, 70-66 on Saturday night, despite blowing a nearly 20-point lead.

Meanwhile, Syracuse dominated Marquette, 55-39, sending the Orange to the Final Four for the first time since 2003. President Obama, who had picked an Indiana-Louisville final, attended the game in D.C.—no word if he had any hard feelings toward Syracuse.
