Thanks. Has anyone heard whether URI will have tickets for sale for any of the Florida games? I'm planning on going to all three.

I am thinking of going. I live in Miami and work on Friday so I guess I will have to take a day off or see the second round.

I had asked, but they did not have the answers yet, so I grabbed front rows when they went on sale yesterday.

That game is not in Daytona. URI will play Bryant at the Ryan Center - but it is a game connected to the Sunshine Slam.

Usually these Holiday Tournaments are lightly attended. I remember the last Daytona Tournament for URI and it was light on attendance.

All 4 teams will likely not travel well to this tournament.

Schedule is:

Saturday November 20
5pm - Utah vs Boston College
7:30pm - URI vs Tulsa

Sunday November 21
5pm - Loser Utah - BC vs Loser URI - Tulsa
7:30pm - Winner Utah - BC vs Winner URI - Tulsa

URI will then travel to Fort Myers Alico Arena for a OOC Game:
Tuesday November 23
7pm URI @ Florida Gulf Coast

Travel Back to RI will be busy airports as Thanksgiving is November 25

I’m staying at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort.

It’s right across the street from the Ocean Center, where the games are being played.

We were going to book there as well, but are waiting on word as to the "Official Hotel" for Sunshine Slam. I am told that they haven't assigned a particular hotel yet, which is odd!

We are also tentatively planning on going and staying at the Hilton.
Haven't booked flights yet.

Will probably fly back on Monday, then drive up to RI for the Georgia State game on Saturday the 27th.

Mrs. Red and I are staying there. Just heard from a usually-reliable source that the alumni association does have tickets and will have some kind of pre-game event(s).

I will be down there on Wed.
I am jealous about the golf, but my wife would kill me if I play, not bringing clubs.
It took a lot to convince her to go as it was.

…….depending on your itinerary, the Dayton’s Speedway behind the scenes tour is good take, recommendation on a restaurant/beach bar atmosphere is Riptides, right on main drag, north Daytona Beach city limits…….FWIW…….Go Rhody

The Utah/BC game is at 5:00 which I wouldn't mind watching. I think that interferes with the reception time.

The tickets allow admission to the entire venue that day.

Tulsa will be not be a cakewalk, they are no "cupcake".
Bad loss to Air Force 59-58, but rebounded with win against Oregon State 64-58.

Very excited for this game. My son and I will be attending our first Rhody game since the final Ryan Center game in March 2019. We moved to Tampa in July 2019 and we get 3 Ram games in the state of Florida in 4 days, with a Monday Night Football Bucs game thrown in the middle of them. Go Rhody!
