I disagree. Not a lot of folks realize that the cheating/choking/awesome regular season KU program we all know today was an incredible and improbable Cinderella story. The 1988 Kansas team had no business being anywhere near the Final 4 against established powerhouse programs like Duke and Oklahoma but they rode an incredibly hot hand to a huge upset. Sure, it was marred by the cheating allegations brought on by hiring an unqualified truck driver to get Manning, but it shocked the basketball world nonetheless.
This is a story of the ugly stepsister who finally made it to the ball. Today as we watch VCU play, we should remember that longshots can do it.
