College basketball conference tournaments have become almost as commonplace to Las Vegas as delight, despair and divorce lawyers.
Basketball has joined the fray on the sidewalks, somewhere beneath the showgirl plumes. It shows up every now and then: two Colorado State Rams fans near that roulette wheel, that streak of Wildcats from Arizona near those slot machines, the Gonzaga fans here and there and also over there, the visiting Hawaiians in Henderson.
There’s March in the beauty of the crying coach, in this case a five-year NBA veteran of four NBA franchises. “It’s emotional because my kids, the players, wanted it,” said Jeff Judkins, the 21-year coach of No. 1 seed BYU , which lost the WCC women’s final to No. 2 seed Gonzaga, 71-59, three weeks after beating the Bulldogs, 63-39. While Gonzaga’s affable Idahoan Melody Kempton, the most outstanding player, No. 33, walked up the stands into a cluster of No.
The players clearly tried in their closing 86-72 loss to Oregon, and the commendable sliver of Beavers fans reveled at Las Vegan Glenn Taylor Jr.’s three-point play that narrowed the deficit to 61-58 with 11 minutes left, and big man Roman Silva spoke of taking “as much positive out of the season as I can” and valuing “the relationships that I’ve made here” that “are going to last a lifetime.
Yet over behind the baseline, here’s a revelation: Utah Valley’s “Green Man Group,” three lines of drummers with heads and bodies swathed in breathable green fabric, glorious aliens in the Vegas night. They do many kinds of shows, but here they do March, drumming in special cadences for made free throws at times, swaying together arm-in-arm at times, reminding what drums can do to neck hairs at all times.
