VCU's Latest NCAA Tournament Cinderella Run Falls Just Short: A Fan's Take The 2012 NCAA tournament bracket was threatening to look a little like the 2011 bracket. Last year, the VCU Rams stunned the world by making the Final Four from the First Four - yet Drexel Dragons fans like myself are more bitter that the Rams got a chance to repeat history.
