One of the most enjoyable things about the NCAA tournament - for basketball fanatics and casual observers alike - is the Cinderella story. This list looks some of the best upsets in NCAA tournament history.

Adding more meaning to this Cinderella story was the fact that Texas Western was the first team with an all-black starting lineup to win a title.
