Has to have been overlooked the entire season while having no outside expectation of doing well before the tournament starts. And then they have to make it to at least the sweet 16, but more so the Elite 8 or Final 4.

Also needs to be a small school that nobody's really heard of. So Syracuse this year, Loyola this year or Butler in 2011 wouldn't count as Cinderella's given their already successful history

I would still argue UCLA and Oregon State are Cinderellas as both barely made the tourney. Let us say if they make the Elite Eight or Final Four.

We all know ORU is gonna lose to Arkansas.
