According to the Wake network, Karl Hess "voluntarily" (according to the ACC) decided not to work the tournament so as not to be a "distraction." Oddly enough, the officials in the first game were distracted anyway, to the point where they taped the initails "KH" to their shoes - an activity which the ACC said they "agreed" they would not continue.
Maryland won the opener with ease, 80-62 over Wake Forest, and State has opened against BC with little difficulty, running out to a 20-6 lead.
