By Daily Mail Reporter and Associated Press Reporter PUBLISHED: 08:58 EST, 22 March 2013 | UPDATED: 08:58 EST, 22 March 2013 Give those Harvard kids an A-plus in another subject: Bracketbusting 101.

What makes the Cinderella win even more impressive is that the team lost both its co-captains before the season began as a huge cheating scandal swept the Ivy League school.
