I'm in the Staples Center and it's halftime of the first Pac 10 Tournament hoop-it-up affair, with the University of Arizona leading Arizona State, 32-30.
It's hard to envision either of these teams pulling away from the other. And the U of A Wildcats need this worse than I need a good lead for the advance I'm about to write on Long Beach State's Big West semifinal Friday night in Anaheim.
If the Wildcats don't win this one, I'd say that their at-large hopes for the NCAA tourney would be tickling "zilch" status.
There are lots of NBA types here, including Denver Nuggets' General Manager Mark Warkentien and Eric Gordon of the Clippers.
By the way, U of A junior power forward Jordan Hill continues to help his NBA stock. He's lottery-bound, baby.
