Who is your Cinderella?

[VFL1995]

I'm going with Hawaii as a 13 seed.

I think they upset Cal in the First Round, get by a Maryland team in the Second Round and lose to Kansas in the Sweet 16

I picked Cal in this one but I will root for Hawaii

Yale

I'm going with Yale.

For me its the Zags. I think they can make a sweet 16 run

I don;t think Hawaii has enough offense but they are one of the more intriguing matchups for sure.

They are my Cinderella as well. I got them losing to MSU in the Sweet 16

 

[DJ Fieri]

UCLA.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN IT!!!!

 

[lilchi721]

South Dakota St

 

[douggie]

Saint Joes

 

[Bolts]

I wanted to pick Fresno State because I think they have a fighting chance to upset Utah and make the sweet 16, but I'm picking the Shockers of Wichita State.

What's the definition of a Cinderella to you guys? 1 upset? 2? I'd say making it to the Elite 8 personally is usually my threshold. Maaaybe Sweet 16 if it's a major upset (like a 15 over a 2, or 14 over a 3)

That being said I think UNI will make it to the Sweet 16 before losing to Oklahoma. Other than that I don't think there will be any true Cinderella teams. Yes, there's tons of parity this year… but I just don't see any double digit seeds getting past the EE.

Cinderella isn't even supposed to be there, but all of the sudden she is the pretiest girl at the ball. Then it gets to midnight where the real action happens and poor little Cinderella falls to shit.

For me a Cinderella needs to be at least an 12 seed or lower. I don't really consider a 10 seed beating a 7 seed as an upset. 11 over 6 is a minor upset, to get me excited 12 seeds are only there because of the automatic bids. Nobody considers them good enough to actually be there. And then a 5 seed is a top 20 team. Beating them gets everybody's attention and we all say ooh look how pretty she is, who is that girl anyways?

2 wins by a 12 seed or lower makes it to midnight imo.

Gotta at least win 2 games and be a double digit seed to be considered a cinderella. Winning one game then getting destroyed means nothing to me

 

[H2S]

I really don't care if they win or not...just want to see them dancing their hearts out against predictably overwhelming odds. Three of the games I'm really looking forward to are all in the East: Chattanooga vs Indiana, Stony Brook vs Kentucky and S. F. Austin vs West Virginia.

Would love to see Stony Brook do well against Kentucky...first dance ever is with the mighty Wildcats?...awesome!

Pretty good definition. Also, usually has to be a mid-major under most circumstances.

In other words, not ... Syracuse.

 

[Edonidd]

I think the winner of Yale vs UNC Wilmington is my Cinderella. I have both winning round 1, but not sure who I want to go with in round 2.

 

[trojanfan12]

Really wanted to go homer and say USC. But, assuming we get past Providence (no easy task), we get UNC. So, think I'm going with Hawaii and UNI.

 

[JohnU]

UNI is much better than its record and so is Wichita. I can see either of these teams winning 2 games.
