Cinderella Team....

    We seem to have one every year. Which team is your pick?

    Cornell

    Very tough this year.

    I think this is a down year in college basketball, so I think a bunch of teams could make a run at this thing.

    I will say Cornell to the Sweet Sixteen.

    I wanted to take either Cornell or Northern Iowa or St. Mary's or Richmond, to me any one of those teams could have made a run.

    I didn't like seeing Temple vs. Cornell or Richmond vs. St. Mary's. To me either one of those teams could have topped a big boy on the first day of the tourney. Its almost as if the NCAA didn't want to see any of those teams separately make a run and ruin the big Sweet 16 or Elite 8 plans the NCAA has if everyone were to win out with the top seeds. Its like they said, "instead of all these teams potentially making a run, we'll make the four of you play each other, so if it happens only 2 of you could potentially ruin brackets across America."

    Duke- The lowely stepsister who with the help of their fairy godmother come out on top. :D

    As for an acutally Cinderella team I need to look over the brackets as a whole to see what I think.

    Yeah I hate Duke. Why do you care so bad? You are following me around everywhere I post just to put that. Thanks for the attention though.

    Homer pick, but how can you not like a ND team who has won 6 of their last seven (Pitt X2 including once by 15, @ Marquette, @ Georgetown by 16, UConn, Seton Hall) with a loss at the buzzer to WVU in the BE semis?
  • darbypitcher22
    I picked Notre Dame in all of my brackets created so far except 1
  • september63
    Washington Huskies

    How about Texas A&M? Sleeper Final Four pick with the Regional in Houston. Same could go for Baylor.

    A 6 seed from the Big East cannot be a Cinderella in my opinion.
  • trackandccrunner
    Old Dominion, Cornell, Utah State, UTEP, and Murry State I feel could all make runs to the sweet 16 or further.
  • athlete37
    Darkhouse deep run team I guess is what I meant. I don't like potentially playing Nova in the sweet 16, but I guess I'd be happy if we made it that far
  • darbypitcher22
    I like Murray State and Siena to potentially run to a Sweet 16

    You like playing Nova as much as I like playing Pitt. Being a 6 seed blows.

    Murray St beating Vandy, the beating UTEP who will beat Butler. Ultimately losing to Cuse in Sweet 16.
  • slingshot4ever
    I also have Wisconsin in the Elite 8....I have Texas beating Kentucky in the 2nd round, then Texas losing to Wisconsin. Wv winning that region.
  • athlete37
    rather be a 6 than a 7 tho. wouldn't want nova, wvu or kansas state second round
  • Laley23
    My four are (in no order):

    1. Murray State
    2. Old Dominion
    3. Utah State
    4. Cornell
  • darbypitcher22
    I think UTEP loses to Butler. CUSA title game hangover
  • trackandccrunner
    I have 8 Upsets in the first round in my 1st bracket I just did on Facebook lol. I like the stats that facebook give you about your picks. I also have Cornell in the Elite 8.
  • darbypitcher22
    facebook does provide some good info
  • mallymal614
    I'm not sure if they count since they are from a major conference, but I too think Texas can surprise some folks.
