The Real Tournament To Watch

Starting at Noon, Friday in Peoria, Illinois, the IHSA Class AA Boys Basketball Tournament begins.

The best matchup of the day is at 6:30 PM and features Glenbrook North and Jon Scheyer (who Village President Gene Marks called GBN's "secret weapon" Tuesday night -- Scheyer's about as secret as Bill Clinton's penchant for women) versus Simeon and their star junior Derrick Rose.

You can bet the NCAA Toruney will be off in the Ivy Chat household until 8 PM.

I actually like Simeon to take the whole thing. But, GBN has a great shot if they get any sort of lead. They make foul shots like crazy. That's what won them the Super-Section versus Warren (who missed 6 of 12 foul shots in the game). If Zach Kelly can make his foul shots and Scheyer stay in control, GBN could go back to back.

Beats watching U Conn and Duke. Yawn.
