The Hypothetical College Basketball Bubble
Basketball has finally returned thanks to the NBA bubble working to plan. In addition to the games being played, the activities within the bubble are almost as entertaining.
College basketball can not operate under the same circumstances that the NBA is, meaning a bubble is not a reachable goal. However, in a hypothetical situation, a college basketball bubble would be pretty fun to follow.
ESPN outlined the ten most popular bubble activities among NBA players and coaches, which led us to wonder, which college hoopers would be partaking in which activities? This burning question led to a more interesting one, which is what would the coaches be doing?
We took the 10 most popular activities, and decided which Power Six coach(es) would be participating in said activity.
