I find it hard to believe that at the very least, Higgins' season is done. Kimble's might be. Is it possible that either of them can still work a regional final even if they didn't work a regional semifinal?

10 officials go to each regional site- 6 will work the Sweet 16, 3 will work the Elite 8, one is the alternate for all three games. Lots of April names (Driscoll, Higgins, Stephens, Eades, McCall, to name a few) will probably show up today unless others had better first weekends.
