The Cinderella's of College Basketball

As the buzzer sounds Florida Gulf Coast has convinceley beat Georgetown. Not only did they beat the heavily favored team that they were facing, but so did Harvard, La Salle, Oregon, Californa, Minnesotta, and Ole Miss. Upsets have always been a part of the NCAA tournament, but this yars is so much diffrent from the ones in the past. Most of teams seem equal for atleast a ten minute portion of the game which is suprising. Too go along with all these upsets Davidson, Southern, and Western Kentucky all brought their team to the wire.
This was just after the round of 64 that we had all these upsets, after the round of 32 we had 4 teams ranked 9 or higher left in the sweet sixteen. FGCU, the first 15 seed to make the sweet sixteen, looks like a championship contender. La Salle or Witchita State play eachother so atleast one team thats ranked 9 or higher will be in the elite eight.
The college basketball world is still wondering who is going to win this tourney because all 16 teams have a realistic chance to win it all. As we wonder if this will continue into the future, I highly doubt it because of the recruiting class that Kentucky has bringing in. But for now we will just sit back and watch the rest of the tournament.
