The Final Four in our men's bracket were Arizona State, Furman, Vermont and Alabama. They ranked the highest with GSRs of 100 and APRs of 1,000.In our women's bracket, we were unable to proceed past the Elite Eight because the top eight schools -- Holy Cross, Creighton, Drake, Gonzaga, Sacred Heart, South Dakota State, Louisville and Michigan -- each had GSRs of 100 and APRs of 1,000.
Congratulations to all of these schools for the academic achievements of their student-athletes. And, of course, congratulations and good luck to the eight teams that will be fighting for the national championship.
