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.

UCLA is a historical powerhouse who has been underachieving for a decade. I don't consider them a Cinderella at all.

I can buy into Oregon State.

Agreed that ORU stands little to zero chance at all against Arkansas. In fact, that -11.5 spread is the one I want to put the most action on next weekend.

BUT, in the very off chance they do win, are they the biggest Cinderella of all time even if they don't make it to the final four?

No 15 seed has ever won 3 games in a single tournament.
