It's a little after 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday and I'm sitting courtside in the Durango High gymnasium, watching Main Event games in las Vegas. You're not missing much . . .
This has been the dullest and least productive for me of the three days of the national high school basketball tournaments that are going on in town.
I've watched four Main Event games and have seen one pretty good team (Chicago Meanstreets) and one VERY GOOD team (New York City Gauchos).
But unlike the adidas and Reebok events, which pitted their best teams in "mini-tournaments" on Days 1 and 2, the Main Event has stuck with strict pool play, meaning the top seeds in each pool have played, for the most part, against three mediocre teams -- hence, a lot of yawn-inspiring (talk about an oxymoron) blowouts.
Team Texas (led by Willie Warren) is next, followed by the P Miller Traveling team (led by Compton's Demar DeRozan). Hope the action in those will hit me like a quick jolt of Diet Mountain Dew.
