      Villanova and NC State are the ultimate Cinderella's as a 6 and 8 seed the 2 lowest seeds to ever win a title so why would you need to be a double digit seed to be a Cinderella ?. You are a 9 seed you beat not noly the #1 seed but the #1 team ranked in the AP poll. If that isn't Cinderella then Cinderella doesn't exist. Florida Gulf Coast is the ultimate Cinderella right now in this tournament because no 15 seed has ever made the sweet 16 every game they win is history in the making but if you make the Final 4 that would truly be a story for the ages. You guys vs LaSalle isn't a "Cinderella" game because your expected to be close to even or you might even be favored either way though if either of you make the Final 4 it is a true Cinderella story.

      No team seeded 12 or lower has ever made the Final 4.

      Only 4 times has a team seeded 9 or lower made the Final 4. (1979 Penn was a 9 seed, 1986 LSU as an 11 seed, 2006 George Mason 11 seed, 2011 VCU as an 11 seed)
      2014 RTS Fantasy Championship National Champion $200,000 (2460 teams)
      2012 NFFC Online National Champion $100,000 (1872 teams)
      2014 DFWC National Champion $9,250 (288 teams)
      2015 RTS Fantasy Championship 2nd Place $25,000 (3120 teams)

      2015 NCAA Bracketology (351 pts more than all 136 at the bracket matrix)

      Kentucky Wildcats National Champions 2012 1998 1996 1978 1958 1951 1949 1948
      The Ohio State Buckeyes National Champions 2014 2002 1970 1968 1961 1957 1954 1942

              they have some solid facts up in this one

              The Sweet 16 is set, primarily with big schools from bigger conferences. But it's also got a few outsiders. So, as we did last week, Playbook continues to profile the little guys, looking at their exploits inside sports -- and far away from the fields of play.
