I missed the final two Elite Eight games last night. I know that's borderline unforgivable, but occasionally work demands more of my attention than college basketball. When I finally was able to tune in, I was overwhelmed by a deluge of stories talking about the great Cinderella Final Four team that this year had produced. Confused, I checked my ESPN app to see if somehow Yale had snuck back in there or SFA had been awarded another chance. No, it was Syracuse that everyone was talking. The Orange aren't Cinderella, and here's why.
1. Cinderella was likable
Cinderella didn't win the heart of the prince that she kissed when he was a frog (all brothers, I don't actually know these stories) by being remarkably annoying or whining about every ill thing that befell her.
