Thanks all!

It was fun. The game turned out to be one of those games where we (the officials) just had to stay out of the way and manage the game. The team from Reno beat Bishop Gorman (ranked 15th nationally) the night before (Thursday) in a huge upset and they were emotionally spent on Friday for the Championship so they didn't put up much of a fight. Their coach didn't have much to say after the first quarter and didn't even call timeouts that I remember. If not for media timeouts, this would have been a relatively quick game. At any rate, the assignment was much appreciated.

Congrats again. Looks like the game was played at the Orleans Arena?

Canyon Springs? That's the team I checked out when I was in Vegas. Explains the blowout I witnessed.

Yeah, they jumped on Bishop Manogue with two feet and never looked back.
