The main concourse at Ball Arena Friday afternoon looked like I-25 without the road rage. Strangers clad in bright blue (Creighton), navy blue (Gonzaga), green (Baylor) or purple (TCU, Grand Canyon) sweatshirts found themselves crammed shoulder-to-shoulder, creeping toward a pricey beverage or restroom stall at a snail’s pace.“The hotels (here) are good. The infrastructure is good. (There’s) a little bit of traffic, for sure,” Baylor guard and Georgia native Adam Flagler told The Post Saturday.“I think they were fixing a little bit of the roads and everything. (Isn’t there) a riverwalk?”There is.“Yeah, I would love to see that. You know, Denver would be a nice place for this tournament to finish out.”Sure would.

And Ball Arena pulled it off twice.Whether it was Grand Canyon fans going bonkers or TCU’s JaKobe Coles capping the night with a game-wi...

After a shopping spree to start free agency, the Broncos are fortifying their depth by bringing a few 2022 players back to the roster.The latest is cornerback Essang Bassey, who is returning to Denver on a one-year deal, a source confirmed Saturday evening to The Post.Bassey, 24, appeared in 14 games for Denver in 2022 and has appeared in all but one of his 28 NFL games with the franchise. He briefly spent time with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021 before returning to Denver again last offseason.He didn’t make the roster out of training camp but quickly ended up back with the team due to injuries and turned himself into a special teams regular and depth piece in the secondary.That looks like a likely role for him again in 2023, joining recently signed Tremon Smith as cornerback depth after the top trio of Pat Surtain II, Damarri Mathis and nickel K’Waun Williams.Denver made a similar move at the safety position late in the week bringing P.J. Locke back on a one-year contract.Bassey ...
