Looking for Cinderella? Check Out the Women's Tourney

While big upsets have been strangely lacking in the men's NCAA Tournament, some powerhouses in the women's game—where upsets are far less common—have gone down. As much as a love a good underdog, I'm disappointed that Nashville area teams have been the Goliaths to the proverbial Davids. #5 seed MTSU yesterday went down to this March's only true Cinderella, #13 seed Marist. A few minutes ago, #2 seed Vandy lost to Bowling Green (#7), making the Falcons the first team from the MAC to advance to the women's Sweet 16. Other shockers include Stanford's (#2) loss to Florida State (#10) on Monday and defending champ Maryland (#2) falling to Ole Miss (#7) this evening.
