s it just because a team has a lower ranking? Is Bama not considered a Cinderella team Because of its high ranking?


Bama is a p5 conference champion, so no Cinderalla. Arky is a 3 seed, but if they make the final 4, one could argue they are. To me, a Cinderalla team is a team that had ups and downs throughout the year, but improved as the year went along, and is peaking at tournament time. A team that is better than their record suggest,and has exceeded expectations in the tournament. Oral Roberts is the best example of a Cinderalla team in my opinion.

3 seeds getting to the Final Four aren't "Cinderella" teams. It's a low seed G5 team who comes out of nowhere to make a big tournament run. Oral Roberts is the only one this year.
