I've been a URI fan longer than you have been alive. And, unlike you, I am a URI fan before being an Archie or Thorr fan.

Imagine being so deep in troll mode on your rivals message board that you can’t tell who you are anymore.
Tough offseason for you. You’re having like self-imposed Stockholm syndrome.

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
Tang and K-State not done adding players.
Tykei Greene (CG) from Stony Brook 14 pts/.426 3pt/ 8 rebs.
This should be a good opening game match-up.

Sounds like Kansas State is in a good position with Florida transfer Keyontae Johnson.

Anyone else flying American? They cancelled flights and we got screwed and have to leave a day early which is incredibly annoying.

Grrr that's so frustrating - is there any thing they'll do for you or give you compensation?

I shot them an email - their policy is incredibly shitty. I fly a lot for work. I feel like this whole platinum status thing would be pointless if they don't take care of me.steviep123 wrote: ↑1 year agoGrrr that's so frustrating - is there any thing they'll do for you or give you compensation?

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
In case anyone doesn't have actual tickets to the games I found a booster package on the ticketing partners website that I had not seen before. $125 for just the three URI games and reserved seating behind their bench. As someone who will be spending any time URI is not playing enjoying the island with the mrs, this is a better fit than the $250 all tournament pass.

As we are now less than 2 weeks out do we have an updated count of folks heading to the tournament? Looking forward to some frozen mudslides pre and post game.

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
It is not going to get any easier for us.
Kansas State just won at California and Rothstein had picked KSU to be one of the sleeper teams this season.
They added transfer Keyontae Johnson, expected to be one of the top players in the nation.
In the second round we play either Tulane or Nevada.
Tulane returns a lot and expects to finish in the top tier of the AAC behind Houston and Memphis.
Nevada should be much improved this season and just beat a very good Grand Canyon team that is predicted to win the WAC.
Based on the brackets, I would guess both us and Illinois State are the 2 lowest seeds.

My thinking for the prediction contest was we would go 1-2 in the Cayman’s. Not so sure now.

For those going - anyone bringing their clubs? I'm trying to get a round or two in down there. 7pm games are a great setup for that.

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
I am very jealous of everyone in Grand Cayman.
We were planning on going.
Then the kids and their families decided to come home.
Instead, we will now be cooking and cleaning all week.
But at least enjoying the grandchildren.

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
Reef do you see a much improved Nevada team this season, I do?
Although my heart is hoping we beat KSU, realistically I would be extremely surprised if we win.
Also Tulane probably over Nevada.
Therefore predicting we play Nevada in the 2nd round.

Hopefully Freeman can score his first basket. This is game 4. Not the start we thought would happen.

They did beat Grand Canyon who is favored to win the WAC.
They have several starters returning and they have a lot of size.
They also have a top 4* recruit (F) Darrion Williams who was Nevada Gatorade POY.
Plus impact transfers (G)Lucas from Oregon State last season averaged 13.5 pts.
And (PG)McIntosh All-CAA but is out with a knee injury, was expected to be their starting PG.

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
It’s like $7 or $12 a month and I cancel it every year after football without an issue.
Also I can’t sleep I’m so excited.

Yes , if you don't pay $ 150 for a full year ,it is $ 30 per month ,an almighty ripoff as far as I'm concerned for 3 games .

Re: Salt Lyfe - URI in 2022 Cayman Islands Classic
No free trial, and its $30 for the month as luke mentioned. The cheaper price is only if you pay for a full year up front. So basically comes down to do you want to pay $10 per game for the tournament.

Tulane is very good, didn't expect them to lose today.
Cook their best player didn't play against Nevada, not sure if he is available tomorrow.
He is a stud, pre-season 1st Team All-AAC.
Several other good players:
Forbes and Holloway both averaging 17 pts.
Cross averaging 16 pts.
James averaging 12 points.

They are 3-1 so far, are averaging just under 80 per game and giving up 72. I peaked at their shooting stats from the Nevada game today. They didn’t shoot well from the field, from 3 and from the line. Percentage wise, their shooting stats were similar to ours tonight.
In their case however, it doesn’t seem to be the norm for them since they are scoring almost 80 pts per game. But, it’s early in the season and the sample size is small so far.
