CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Predicting college basketball sleeper teams almost required oxymoronic reasoning. A Cinderella needs to come out of nowhere, so figuring out which program is capable of making that run almost diminishes certain teams from the status. It's part of the fun of March Madness, the most dangerous and unpredictable month of any sport in the American athletics landscape.
Winning almost can't become surprising if a team is expected to make a run. So if someone wants a prime candidate for a Cinderella team in this week's ACC Tournament in Greensboro, it might be worth looking at Boston College.
