The stray pieces of mail arrive from time to time on the campus of George Washington University. They read, "Georgetown." Or "George Mason." Karl Hobbs, coach at the school known around Washington, D.C., simply as "GW," made a joke of it as he prepared his team to play USC today in the Wooden Classic, teasing that the game contract read "Georgetown" when it arrived in his office.

And now that they've forced you to crumple your bracket and toss it in the trash, they're asking a question that has to make you pause and scratch your head. "Who can't we beat now?"
