Video Rewind: Georgetown Brawl
Georgetown is a 3-seed this year, which is sort of surprising when you think about their international incident back in August, right? To recap: The Hoyas visited China for a goodwill trip.

Grantland Archives: FBLA HARVARD Primer
Harvard, y’all! Let’s make a bunch of nerd jokes while we can, because the 12th-seeded Crimson face Vandy, a 5-seed, in the first round, and my dad told me to take the Commodores.
