Misleading text 

The article states: 

"Defending national champion Kentucky was omitted from the field of 68, becoming the first reigning champion to be denied the opportunity to defend its championship in a season in which it was eligible for the tournament since North Carolina in 2010."

The beginning of the sentence makes it seem like it's rare or a big deal for the national champion to not make the tournament. And then the end of the sentence makes it clear that it's only been three years. Someone should probably fix that.
