Smart Guys can win basketball games too, Harvard shocks New Mexico

Ask someone what is the first thing that comes to mind when Harvard is mentioned. Their answer? Probably something along the lines of extremely complicated and in-depth math and science problems that can take hours to figure out. Either way, athletics and Harvard are two things that are not often associated with each other. The Ivy League does seem to produce one or two great teams every year, but with the exception of 2010 Cornell and a few other versions, the Ivy League champion often times bows out in the first round as expected. On Thursday night, Harvard proved once again that smart kids can play basketball too. They controlled the game from the outset and seemingly had an answer for every New Mexico run, upsetting the trendy Final Four pick and 3rd seeded Lobos, 68-62. The nation's oldest university won its first ever NCAA Tournament game, nearly 400 years after the school itself had been established. Revenge of the nerds, indeed. -Joe
