March Madness earned its name for a reason, for all the chaos that happens in the NCAA Men's National Championship Tournament. Usually there are several upsets in the second round of the tournament, an 11 seed upsetting a 6 seed or a 5 seed falling to a 12 seed, but this season for the first time in over 30 years two teams lower than a 5 seed have made it into the Final Four. 11 seed Virginia Common Wealth (VCU) is the only team to have won five games to make it to the semi-finals and will face Butler, an 8 seed, who is the first non-Big 6 conference to have made it to the Final Four in back-to-back years. Only one of these Cinderella teams will be able to make it to the National Championship game where they will face off against wither Kentucky or Connecticut. Now that my bracket has been destroyed because of the many upsets this year, I find myself cheering for VCU, who I picked to beat Georgetown and Purdue, but will this Cinderella story really have a happy ending?
