UNC Basketball: The Las Vegas Invitational Journal - Part 1

48 hours into a trip to Vegas, the question I find myself constantly asking is “What on Earth is _____ doing here?” Examples: “What on Earth is a city doing here, in the middle of a desert?” “What on Earth is a pyramid doing here, in the middle of North America?” “What on Earth is Nassir Little doing here, not attacking a smaller defender?”

This question the Orleans Arena, the venue for the 2018 Las Vegas Invitational, and what will be the center of our world for the next two days. I will not burden our faithful readers with the details of my own Thanksgiving in Vegas (green olives in the stuffing, y’all), therefore we will begin with the arrival at the venue, and we will end with departure from the same.
