Penny's Gambit

Claiming your team has a COVID outbreak in order to avoid playing against a strong opponent.
Penny Hardaway claimed his Memphis Tigers had COVID so they wouldn't have to face Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers. He used the old Penny's Gambit. It's a bold move, but at least avoids the loss and he can still claim that his team was superior even though they contracted COVID and Tennessee didn't.
