Forget about the talk of this being the worst bubble ever* and the usual middling power conference teams we find on the bubble every season, and pay attention to the most intriguing story percolating at the back end of the tournament field. The Southern, Atlantic Sun, and Ohio Valley conferences all have an opportunity to put more teams into the field than the Pac-12.
*Quick aside for just a second. We hear this talk every season around this time about the bubble being soft and this being the worst bubble ever, and it’s always hyperbolic. The bubble is inherently bad because all teams all the bubble are significantly flawed.
