March Madness:(Video) Harvard Pulls Off One Of The Biggest Upsets Ever
Harvard made history last night in more ways than one. The school that you think of when you picture doctors, judges, politicians, is now producing some quality basketball as well. Harvard won their first game ever in the history of the NCAA tournament last night, and they did it in dramatic fashion by upsetting highly ranked University of New Mexico 68-62 in the second round. New Mexico was the #3 seed in the bracket, while Harvard was seeded #14. It is an amazing feat for Harvard considering the 2 best players on the team were dismissed before the season started for an academic fraud situation. Many people had New Mexico making a very deep run in the tournament, but the smart kids at Harvard had something to say about it. They held New Mexico to one of their lowest shooting performances of the season, while hitting more than half of their shots themselves. These type of games are what the NCAA tournament is all about.

The bill was introduced by Republican Cathrynn Brown who claims that the bill is more to punish those who commit rape. It sounds to me like more punishment for those who have been raped. I can’t imagine how horrific it is to be raped, yet alone get pregnant as a result of being raped. The bill is currently being fought and being called “blatantly unconstitutional.” Read more below.
