Yeah, the thing about the bug seems like someone trying to make a connection after the fact, because nothing in those communications indicated his comments were the reason for the Friday tests.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

Even the N&O story is unclear on what exactly happened to bring about Fri tests. Not sure what role Evan's positive PCR test and the 2 tests of the guys with symptoms played. Evidently none if you believe the following:

"Holman acknowledged that Avent "was not pleased" with the medical team's request that several players be tested on a day when they hadn't been scheduled to be, but that the medical team made that decision after Avent referenced "the bug" in his postgame press conference after his team's second game."

The other piece to this is the fact that the NCAA didn't have plans or procedures in place for positive tests--- or even rules on what would force a team out of the event. I remember James arguing that State "knew the rules" but the article makes clear there were none


I believe the Friday testing started with State trying to clear a player; probably assumed he'd be negative again.

Then they tested the two players with symptoms.

All 3 were positive and the Pack was screwed at that point.

The rules I was referring to were emailed to all media and teams prior the tournament.
