Who's your cinderella team this year?

Question

Who's your cinderella or sleeper pick in this years NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament? I have Notre Dame and Oral Roberts going to the Sweet 16.

Answer 1

Virginia Commonwealth is the only team that I look at that I would actually classify as a Cinderella that I think has much of a chance at getting deep. I think they will definitely beat Duke, have a good chance to beat Pitt to get to the sweet Sixteen, but then will most likely fall to UCLA if they get that far. Oral Roberts could also be a candidate but I think they have less of a chance to beat Wash St and then a Vandy to get to the sweet Sixteen. Creighton has a tough first game with Nevada and then would have to play Memphis most likely followed then by a Louisville or a A&M, and for a team that is still basically fine tuning its defense, I think that might be too much to ask.

I don't really consider Oregon a Cinderella, Or SIU even though it would be more impressive for an SIU to get into the later rounds.

My surprise team would be Nevada, given the stab in the back they recieved by the committe. They are certainly talented enough to go far, but they have a tough game against Creighton then most likely Memphis, followed by A&M just to get to Ohio St. Unbelievable hose job by the NCAA for a very talented mid-major team. I guess they were desperately trying to stop another George Mason from Happening.

Answer 2

notre dame is a 6th rank, probably too high to be a huge cinderella

oral roberts has a good chance, by playing Washington St. (a little overrated), but will end up having to play georgetown, UNC, or Texas at the end of the brackets, so even if they get there, they will probably lose

But hey, people said George Mason would lose before every upset they made last year

Answer 3

I'm not brave enough to pick a cinderalla, but i guess more aptly named would be my sleeper Tennessee. They beat Texas, Florida, and lost by only 2 at Ohio State. Chris Lofton is an unconscious shooter and can drive th ball also. AS true with anyone though, if you can get and stay hot behind the arc, you can beat anybody.

Answer 4

there is not going to be a cinderella team this year, a cinderalla team is a team ranked below 9 advancing into sweet 16, so thats 2 wins....i dont think its gonna hapen

Answer 5

The cinderella this year will be Old Dominion. They'll make it to Florida, when the clock will strike midnight. Sorry.

Answer 6

Il ove unc but North Carolina State has done way better than i expected way and pretty sure you expected somebody to say this being that espn is always talking about thier progress.

Answer 7

possibly 10th ranked creighton from the south region. If they make it past the first round, they could potentially beat 2nd seeded memphis is they play good defense and are able to make key shots

Answer 8

Oregon
