NCAA

Sometimes a piece of knowledge really sticks
Inside my mind; some trivia does that.
Like Harvard last in 1946
Was in the NCAA, fell flat
And lost twice in one tournament. But now
That is no longer true. In 2012
We can but lose the once, the rules allow,
And since we can't do worse, and cannot delve
Below a double loss, we might as well
Do better - there's no failure if we lose,
And should we greet the ringing of the bell
With all we have, we could meet Syracuse
(Unlikely that, but still a thought I've had:
After all, they say that March is Mad).
