More Champions!

It was somewhat of a surprising night as Cleveland State, Western Kentucky, and North Dakota State (no folks, that is not a typo, they actually have buildings in North Dakota) have all qualified for the NCAA tournament. Of course, the surprises are that Cleveland State beat Butler and North Dakota State has a basketball team North Dakota State won the Summit League.

So what does this mean for the NCAAs? Well, Butler is now an unexpected at-large team, and perhaps more importantly, someone's bubble just burst, and there's a good chance that may have been St. Mary's bubble. Also, maybe South Carolina or one of the many Big 10 teams. Here is the updated list of teams who qualified.
