According to the article they were off the court Saturday night at 1107, left arena at 1122 and drove halfway. Would they be ready and fresh for the big game Sunday afternoon. Would like to hear some feedback on this.

It's irrelevant, as far as I'm concerned. If the official does a good job Saturday and a good job Sunday, it's nobody's business (but the Big Ten's assignor's). Certainly not the NCAA's business (or John Adams, either) unless they're willing to hire these guys as full time employees and pay them a salary.
Just something to write about, as always.
