Had Butler not come within an unfriendly rim (or two) of a national championship (damn Duke!), another Cinderella may have been the feel-good story of this year's March Madness. The Cornell Big Red raced past Temple and Wisconsin in the initial rounds of the NCAA tournament to earn the school's first ever Sweet 16 appearance. It was the deepest run for an Ivy League school since Penn's Final Four appearance more than three decades ago. The senior-laden team from Ithaca ultimately succumbed to a Kentucky squad full of McDonald's All-Americans, but not before demonstrating that a bunch of non-scholarship eggheads could hoop with the nation's elite.
