The field at the 2013 NCAA tournament has already been whittled down from 64 to 16, with this number to be halved again afterwards this week. In 2010 and though there's been several large talking points out of the culling process, there's been no subject than the runs of certain Cinderella groups. You understand, the smaller groups (Cinderella) who have somehow squeezed themselves to the ball (Sweet 16). Clubs like Wichita State, Manhattan project Salle and Florida Gulf Coast Universitya'none of them were anticipated to ensure it is this far in the match, and yet here they are. They have all reached extraordinary problems to nevertheless be alive in the event, but they will also face big checks to stay alive. Could they continue their extraordinary winning streak or will the clock strike midnight on their NCAA match goals in the Sweet 16?ARead on to see which Cinderella clubs will not ensure it is right through to the next round of March Madness for 2013. Texas Gulf Coast University: No. 15 seed, South Region Rob Carr/Getty Photographs No better disappointed team exists in the competition in 2010 than that of FGCU, who became the tournament's first-ever No. 15 seed to create it right through to the Sweet 16. That's not only this yeara'we're talking the initial team ever. Having stunned Georgetown inside their opening game, the process was then repeated by the Eagles on Hillcrest State in the third round. Andrew Enfield's men pulled away late for the reason that anyone to report a 10-point success again, creating a Sweet 16 game with the region's No. 3 seed, Florida. That, however for FGCU, is where its Cinderella story will come to a finish. Florida produced beautiful leads to straight back that up and has is really a quite strong team this season. Based on research wizard Ken Pomeroy, the Gators are the best general team in the united kingdom, with the third-ranked effective offense and the third-ranked effective security. As great whilst the Cinderella story is, there is just no way that FGCUAis with the capacity of shutting down a multi-faceted attack like Florida's. The Gators are only too powerful right over the court and may still win games using their safety should their offense find itself in trouble. FGCU can come into this one on a huge high, and rightly so. It's accomplished incredible things at the match this year and deserves great praise, but unfortunately, it will come to a conclusion here. Wichita State: Zero. 9 seed, West Region Streeter Lecka/Getty Photos Hands up, those who had Wichita State playing La Salle in the Sweet 16. If the hands are up, then end cheating, for there is simply no way that anyone would have predicted this matchup occurring so late in the match. The No. 9 and 13 vegetables have both achieved incredible runs to obtain this far in March Madness, and one of these will see that run continue right through to the Elite Eight. However, in doing so, they will bring to a finish the story of these Cinderella opposition, and in that one, it's Wichita State who willAbe sent packing. The Shockers have been just that through the event so far, with their defeat of the No. 1 seed Gonzaga one of the more incredible tournament problems. But, against a streaking Explorers team, they may only sputter and experience a shock defeat as a result. Manhattan project Salle has acquired as very strong teams very close victories over Kansas State and Mississippi, both of whom came into the match. They didn't have the concerns bordering them like Gonzaga did, and the reality is that these two groups were very good opponents, whilst they did not bring the large seeding that the Bulldogs did. And the Explorers triumphed with clutch play down the stretch in both, which may again show to be the difference for La Salle in this 1. Gonzaga struggled down the stretch against Wichita State, and it wasn't also tried against Pittsburgh. The Shockers haven't had exactly the same type of close games that La Salle has had so far, and in what would be another big angry, I consequently think they may only decrease. Manhunter Salle's Cinderella story lives on as the Shockers' ends. ClickAhere to downloadAyourAprintable 2013 March Madness bracket, or follow our live bracket of theA2013 NCAA event here.
