But the possibility does exist (thank you George Mason), so bubble obsession will always be a part of March Madness.

• It’s the end of an era for arguably the most successful Division II women’s basketball coach in history, as Amy Ruley has decided to step down at North Dakota State to become an associate director of athletics at the school.
