9 of the 12 regional Rs are working. 1 was a U1 on Thursday. 1 was a U2 on Sunday.

Despite all the social media nonsense, the NCAA and Rastatter must've been happy with how Purdue/Tennessee was officiated as 2 of the 3 officials on that game are in the Final Four.

Last year the two first-timers served as the Standby officials. If that happens again this year, the two Umpires selected would be the Standbys and the nine floor officials will all have been the R in the Sweet16/E8.

Rastatter clearly has a penchant for advancing his selected Rs.

Thought it was pretty cool that the Sweet Sixteen alternates all got to work last night. Not sure if that happened last year. I also think it was great that CR put Rastatter put Lamar Simpson our there after the Kansas play. Well done.

A tweet I saw this morning is reporting that the championship game officials are:

Anderson, Ayers, Oglesby

[JRutledge]

Game 1 - Purdue vs. NC State was Keith Kimble, Kipp Kissinger and Michael Reed

Game 2 - UConn vs. Alabama is Patrick Adams, Paul Szelc and Ronald Groover.

I did not notice the Alternate yet. Watching on small TV.

That leaves these guys as also one is the alternate for today and Monday.

Jeffrey Anderson (1) - 2023
Roger Ayres (6) - 2023
Courtney Green (23) - First Final Four
Terry Oglesby (3) - 2023
Marques Pettigrew (16) - First Final Four

Peace

I also cannot imagine the two first year guys are working on the floor and certainly not the title games.

Peace.

I believe I saw Marques Pettigrew at the table as the standby yesterday.
