So there must be some otherworldly explanation for a college basketball game that played out as oddly as the one Wednesday evening, right?.
Never one scared to venture into Wonderland, I’ve got a hypothesis.
My hunch is that the Greek God of Hoops, Naismithius, finally got the cable service on Olympus to carry the ACC Network, and was hangin’ in the TV room, watching the game with Hermes and Hephaestus (though he was mostly chatting up Demeter at the hors d’oeuvres table).
Hades kept nudging Naismithius to diddle around with the Cards because he thinks they are overrated at #2, and thought the visiting Spartans deserve some trickeration too for their shenanigans, and they could all get a good laugh.
