2016 Ocean State Tip Off Tournament!
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 6:01 pm
This year will be (I believe) the inaugural "Ocean State Tip-Off Tournament", pitting the four Rhode Island DI women's basketball programs against each other over one weekend.
The Good: It's the Beanpot of Rhode Island basketball! What's not to like?
The Bad: It's women's ball in a state without great women's teams so it might take some selling to get people to go normally. However that won't be an issue this year, because...
The Ugly: The first round is Saturday afternoon, December 3rd, the day of PC/URI. Literally no one will be there from those schools.
...well maybe some PC fans might catch the first game then walk down College Hill to the Dunk.... HA HA! JUST KIDDING! I mean they will have their dad's chauffeur rickshaw them down the hill. But seriously folks this is a neat idea, something I think people might go to or flip on the TV for if it were scheduled a little better.
