As we edge ever closer to conference tournament play and, ultimately, NCAA Tournament contests, programs that are currently on the outside looking in will look to play their best basketball down the stretch of the regular season. Although it’s easy and even somewhat justifiable to remain unwaveringly focused on the ranked teams in college basketball, there is always at least one program that goes from being relatively unknown to becoming a beloved Cinderella story come March Madness. Considering all of the upsets and close affairs that were on full display last week, there is certainly a multitude of unranked teams that have the potential to go far in the single-elimination tournament that sports fans crave and anticipate anxiously every year.
