...Fall Tournament, and it was already apparent that as a high school player, he was absolutely dominant,” notes the Harvard team’s de facto coach Dennis Loo, a self-described “professional gambler and physics tutor” who played for Virgina Tech in the late-1990s...
Exhibit A in the possible return to normalcy was the 3.5% loss in the tech-heavy NASDAQ, compared to the much smaller drop in the Dow and S&P.

While Clayton struggled in Tulsa, six of his teammates...
