The NCAA tournament bubble hasn’t been perfect but so far it mostly seems to be holding although six officials, including TV Teddy Valentine, have been sent home. Leaving the popular opinion out of it, losing a lot of officials now, including John Higgins, can’t help. These guys are rated the best at what they do and that means that the fill-ins, while competent, aren’t as good. And that matters.
Georgia Tech also has one positive test and that person is in quarantine. It’s not clear if it’s a player or someone else.
Remember what we said about Pastner’s general lack of awareness of how he presents himself?
