Mar 18, 2024 · On the sidelines of the basketball court, Stringer became the first coach in college basketball history to lead three separate women’s teams to the Final Four. She first did it with Cheyney State in 1982; in 1993, she did it again with the University of Iowa; and she made it to the Final Four twice with Rutgers, first in 2000, then again in 2007.

N.C. State was a 6 seed in the 1983 NCAA tournament, which may seem a bit high to be considered a Cinderella. But the Wolfpack won it all that year, taking down some mighty opponents. N.C. State beat Virginia, which had Ralph Sampson, and Houston, which had Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon. Jim Valvano was also one of the most charismatic coaches ...
We promise, not all of these teams won the national championship. Villanova did in 1985 as a No. 8 seed, the lowest of any national title winner to this day. The Wildcats entered the NCAA tournament with a modest 19-10 record and didn't win any of their first three March Madness games by more than five points. They clawed their way through the tour...
To this day, the Tigers are the only 11 seed to beat a 1, 2 and a 3 seed in the same tournament. LSU was also the first 11 seed to reach the Final Four. The Tigers knocked off Memphis State, Georgia Tech and Kentucky, in that order, in the '86 tournament. They won those by less than an average of four points per game. LSU would ultimately fall to L...
Spoiler alert: this is the last national champion on this list. But there's a far greater chance that an 11 seed will upset a 6 seed than a 6 seed winning the whole darn thing, so Kansas certainly qualifies as a Cinderella. The irony is that the Jayhawks have bowed out much earlier in years they've been expected to go further. Danny Manning was a b...
The Lions made an Elite Eight run as an 11 seed that year, led by head coach Paul Westhead. This team was a blast to watch. It averaged 122.4 points per game, which led the NCAA for the third year in a row. Westhead and the Lions were certainly ahead of their time, embracing fast pace and 3-point shots. WHAT IS MARCH MADNESS?:The NCAA tournament ex...
There was skepticism that George Mason would even make the 2006 NCAA tournament, because it didn't earn an auto bid. The Patriots lost in the CAA tournament semifinals. But they snagged an 11 seed as an at-large, and certainly did not disappoint. Jim Larranaga's group knocked off heavy hitters Michigan State, North Carolina and Connecticut en route...
This was the March Madness where Steph Curry burst onto the scene as a national sensation. Coming into the 2008 NCAA tournament, Davidson hadn't won a game in the dance since 1969. STEPH CURRY: The NBA star's college basketball stats, top moments and highlights at Davidson The Wildcats were a 10 seed and reached the Elite Eight behind Curry's brill...
Butler reached the national championship game in 2010 and lost on a Gordon Hayward halfcourt buzzer-beater attempt that rimmed out. Hayward left for the NBA that summer, and the Bulldogs were still formidable in 2011. But it looked like they'd regressed a bit. Butler entered the 2011 tournament as an 8 seed. It barely escaped Old Dominion in the fi...
VCU followed the George Mason path. The Rams didn't earn the CAA auto bid in 2011, but earned an at-large bid as an 11 seed. And they never looked back. CLASSIC MOMENTS: Watch the greatest buzzer beaters in March Madness history Most of these teams won squeakers against various powerhouses. But Shaka Smart's crew actually cruised at the beginning o...
Florida Gulf Coast was a 15 seed in 2013 and reached the Sweet 16, the first 15 seed to ever do so. The Eagles upset Georgetown in the first round, and downed San Diego State in the second. FGCU played an entertaining brand of basketball that earned them the nickname "Dunk City." Like many teams on this list, the Eagles embraced small ball. This wa...
