The Cinderella

Is there one from the West this year? Probably not.

However, the teams up top are, by far, the weakest of all the four regions, so a Cinderella is possible.

Not just because of their smarts, Yale qualifies as that Cinderella in this bracket.

No. 12 Yale will start off against Baylor in the infamous 12/5 matchup. Should they win, they’ll then take on the winner of the Duke-UNC Wilmington matchup.

Yale in the Sweet 16 is not out of the realm of possibility.
