We continue our special month of college hoops ‘Special Teams’ with the first of two shows spotlighting some of the great Cinderella teams of all time. In 1986, David Robinson led Navy all the way to the Elite Eight as the Admiral became a mythic figure in college basketball. Before becoming a yearly power, Gonzaga hit the radar screen in 1999 with a first-round tournament win wracked with controversy, and qualified for the Elite Eight with some last second magic. But the real crazy thing for the Zags happened after the tournament. 

And finally, the 2008 Davidson Wildcats, who introduced the world to Steph Curry.

Maybe most remarkable is how their run ended in the Final Four - and how the final play of their elimination game against Kansas went down.
