Since the Harvard University men's basketball team has been enjoying an exceptional season, thanks in part to Brandyn Curry from Huntersville, NC, we thought we'd dedicate an entire list to smart schools and their nicknames.
I thought about jokingly adding my own alma mater Radford University, located in Radford, Va., but that seemed like a conflict of interests_ not that bloggers actually care about these things. But, one of the schools listed here the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT, and yes, they are in the Great West Conference?!), happens to also have RU's nickname, which is Highlanders.
Here is the list, in addition to Harvard, Duke and Vanderbilt are assured of being in the NCAA tournament while Northwestern is a bubble team:
1. American University Eagles. Patriot League. Washignton, DC.
2. Cal-Poly Mustangs. Big West. Ponoma, Calif.
3. Colorado Buffaloes. Pac-12. Boulder, Colo.
4. Cornell Big Red. Ivy. Ithaca, NY.
5. Duke Bluedevils. ACC. Durham, NC.
6. Harvard Crimson. Ivy. Cambridge, Mass.
7. NJIT Highlanders. Great West. Newark, NJ.
8. Northwestern Wildcats. Big 10. Evanston, Ill.
9. Stanford Cardinal. Pac-12. Palo Alto, Calif.
10. Vanderbilt Commodores. SEC. Nashville, Tenn.
11. Wake Forest Demon Deacons. ACC. Winston-Salem, NC
12. William and Mary Tribe. Colonial Athletic. Williamsburg, Va.
