Who had Harvard? Yeah me neither

LOL. In the yahoo NCAA tournament game, they had an auto-fill option that allowed you to choose "smartest schools" - - I tried that one for one of my brackets and it had Harvard winning the championship!!!! I edited Harvard out of the picture by the Sweet 16. So at least in that bracket, I got a point that almost nobody else got :-)
 
Down goes my underdog Final 4 pick - NC State. How a team with Leslie and Howell is as mediocre as they are, I'll never understand. They've been underachieving for years.
 
Danny Almonte Muhammad:

In an era when young players work with the finest trainers, crisscross the country going to tournaments and change high schools three or four times in search of the best showcase for their talents, the lengths families go to groom a pro prospect is well-known.

Still, the Los Angeles Times managed to uncover a nugget about heralded UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad that is definitely eye-opening.

According to a story published hours before UCLA's opening-round NCAA tournament game against Minnesota on Friday night, Muhammad is one year older than he and his family have claimed he is. UCLA's men's basketball media guide lists his date of birth as Nov. 13, 1993, but Times reporter Ken Bensinger discovered that his birth certificate on file with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health shows was born exactly one year earlier.

Doesn't really mean anything now that he is in college, but still, kind of shady for when he was playing high school ball.
