Potential Cinderellas

3/17/2019

0 Comments

 
March Madness season is upon us and as the brackets are being revealed, there are talks about who could be the Cinderellas of the tournament. Now the 'Cinderellas' that I'm going to name aren't going to automatically win and the ones I didn't mention aren't possibly going to lose... yet. This is a list of the teams you should watch for in the tournament. Who looks to be getting the glass slipper treatment this March?
  • UC Irvine: The Anteaters are in a good match-up against Kansas State, who may not have Dean Wade for the tournament. UC Irvine is an aggressive team that is also efficient with the basketball, which may give Kansas State some problems. Plus, the Anteaters are playing in California, which is non-official home court advantage for UC Irvine.
  • Murray State: The Racers have Ja Morant, who can win a game on his own. A projected top-five draft pick in the next NBA Draft, Morant has the ability to drive towards the net and destroy anything in his path. Murray State is also stiff on defense, yielding only 67.8 points a game.
  • Vermont: Vermont has quietly been a basketball powerhouse as of late, making seven NCAA tournaments since 2003. Like Murray State, the Catamounts are stingy on defense, only allowing 62.6 points per game (13th in the nation). Anthony Lamb (21.4 PPG, 52.1 FG%) is a player to watch for in the tournament.
  • Oregon: While not a "Cinderella" school due to it being a Power Six school, the Ducks weren't expected to make the tournament after Bol Bol went down. Now, they've won four in a row and have won the Pac-12 tournament. They weren't supposed to be here, but they are and they're rolling.
Other Schools to Watch: New Mexico State, Yale, Belmont, Old Dominion
