They were here. It’s time. Bubble Watch is live.
After six weeks of updates twice a week, we converge on the final outburst of the pre-NCAA tournament season. We started the same process last year, of course, and we all know what happened then: the tournaments stopped, the Bubble Watch stopped, the sport we like, and this strange column of words, obsessed with the context we create together, was frozen in its place. The latest BW update of 2020, presented from the media center in Greensboro, North Carolina, promised to “end the fight”. this happened about 15 minutes before the world stopped. On the same day, we were on a flight back to DC.
So, yes, there is something especially satisfying about watching this year of Bubble Watch to its conclusion.
