Is ISU a Cinderella?

[madguy30]

They are also a 11 seed.

Yep and I'd never label them a Cinderella. Everyone knows who Michigan is and it's pretty easy to see them as a team that has it's **** together after a marginal season.

Those two seasons aren't even related at this point though.

Calling a P6 team a Cinderella is 'little brother' type of stuff.

'Look at little Iowa State playing with the big boys'.

They've made 'big boys' hate playing them, not some 'well they just hit shots'.

The bottom line is that no one thought ISU was going to win 10 games this year. Anyone that says that they expected ISU in the Sweet 16 is a flat out lying.

I don't think any Power 6 team that makes the tournament is a typical "Cinderella" unless the team had to win their conference tournament to qualify.
