Ranking the all-time NCAA tournament Cinderellas

Loyola-Chicago's incredible tournament run is over, but we will long remember how the Ramblers, with incredible shooting, last-minute heroics and, yes, Sister Jean, made it all the way to the 2018 Final Four.

Where does the Ramblers' run stack up with other surprise teams of NCAA tournaments past? Let's see.

Just note, there aren't a lot of teams from the 1970s on this list. With the exception of a few years at the very dawn of this event, the NCAA gave bids only to conference champions until the mid-1970s. Conference champions aren't often big underdogs (with an exception for 2010-11 Horizon co-champion Butler on this list).
