We all love a good plot to keep us invested in various leisure activities.  Here are some NCAA Basketball stories to keep track of heading forward this season.

With the 2018-19 college basketball season well underway and with conference play in full-swing, it’s fun for us as fans to look at stories related to our team, a certain conference, coach, player, etc.  Seemingly this year has been dominated by the likes of Duke being Duke, Michigan’s rise, Tennessee emerging as a legit title threat, the out-of-nowhere crowing of Ja Morant, or the fact that Zion Williamson is doing things that only, well, Zion Williamson can physically do.  But what about the other college basketball stories?

But there has been so much more that has gone out outside of the major news headlines that may have slipped through the cracks and deserve to be discussed.  Discovering new names and faces always adds a sense of excitement for fans across the country to partake in.

Today, we’ll take a closer look at a handful of stories that have intrigued the collegiate basketball landscape thus far this year.  Be it on the local level, regional level or even if it may have had a quick blip on the national radar, fresh news stories always make for a fun time.

Ranging from players who, similar to that of Ja Morant, have put on incredible performances on a nightly basis, the NCAA expanding their ranks or new Cinderellas trying to see if the shoe fits, there hasn’t been any shortage of interesting developments for us as fans to sink our teeth in to,

With that being said, let’s take a dive into some of these stories and try to see where they may take us as the season inches closer to March.
