Gonzaga is a mid major. At least based on the classic definition. They've just been good for so long, it's easy to consider them a big time school. But they play in the West Coast Conference. I hope they win at least one after all this time.
Other than that, the only true Cinderellas are Loyola (who is an 8 seed and coming off an Elite 8 run a few years ago) and Oral Roberts which would be the coolest thing ever if they won. Everyone else that's a lower seed is kinda "meh" factor. I guess Oregon State but would anyone really be excited if they won (other than their fans) ? UCLA can **** off with their 11 seed. They're still the historical royalty of the sport.
