We all know how these early season tournaments work, right? You win your first game and then you move on to the next game that’s played the next night. Likely, many of you thought that when the Tar Heels beat UNLV last night it set up the Tar Heels to play later tonight.
You would be wrong.
Thanks to the wacky Covid schedule, the Maui Invitational was scheduled to coincide along with the Champions Classic tonight. Keep in mind, pre-covid the latter would have happened first, and the former would have happened last week. Now, even organizers are just trying to squeeze in what they can, and it creates these bottlenecks.
