big time first day schedule 99

Ok, so we're getting way ahead of things here, and the adidas Big Time Tournament in Las Vegas doesn't get started for more than a week, and there will be at least three camps yet to be evaluated, but so what. We're just getting everyone in a position to know where to be and when to be there.

There are 56 separate pools, 4 teams per pool, 256 teams, all participating over two days of pool play at 16 different gyms located at 8 different high schools in Las Vegas. This isn't called the "Big Time" for nothing. If you're going, be prepared to rent a car, and be sure you can find a room. Despite temperatures outside well in excess of 100 degrees, which would lead one to believe it would be easy to get a room, Vegas will be packed.
