#111/341 - Wichita State Shockers
I will have to replace this with a more modern one, but for now I'm enjoying this. As far as Cinderellas go it doesn't get much better than the Shockers of Wichita State. They tore through the tournament en route to the Final 4 and where very close to knocking out eventual champions, Louisville.
What most people don't remember about that team was that their toughest contest before the Final 4 was a 2nd-round upset of #1 Gonzaga. The Zags actually had them on the ropes late in the 2nd half before the Shockers started reigning 3's to pull it out. The following year the Wichita State would switch roles where they became the #1-seed only to lose to a team that would go onto the title game. It was a weird 2-year circle.
