I'm getting tired of seeing the same 5 GANs listed as the oldest unreviewed ones, so I'll give this article a look through shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:55, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

  • Ref #31 on Forbes is a deadlink, but since all the info's there the url can just be removed.
    • How do we know it was in the print edition. Surely there was a story about Harvard, but it is not clear to me that all these facts were included although they probably were.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:00, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "participated in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament since the 1946 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament." can probably be shrunk to just 1946 tournament at the end so it doesn't feel repetitive.
  • "The Colorado victory was the teams" the teams'
  • "The Harvard gameplan involved a fast breaks initiated by its defensive" involved fast breaks..its defense
  • Adding in a few dates for when they played the tough teams may be helpful (i.e. were they all in the first couple weeks, right before conference play, or spread out?). Having summaries of all 30 games would be nice, but even I admit that's likely overkill, so that's not needed.
    • Dates added. For a power conference team or a true national contender (like say Butler), that might be a reasonable request. I don't think many readers want to slog through the average Ivy League schedule although it is probably easily sourced. For an FA of this topic that would be a must though.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:36, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article and hold and will pass it when this is done. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article looks good now, so I'll pass it as a GA. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:22, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
