The 1998-99 year was right after Tyronn Lue left for the NBA, so it had to be Venson Hamilton followed by Cookie Belcher.

Got to admit to being disappointed when I first saw the field for this one. Yeesh. But now I'm excited to play some mediocre teams, good chance to take a step forward.

The Cayman Islands tourney sets up pretty well this season, as it turned out. And both Derrick Walker & Dalano Banton can tag along to practice & see some sights, as well. Pretty good deal for the team chemistry, all around.

 

 

[Handy Johnson]

Scoring leaders:  Hamilton, Belcher, Florence, Fields...?

[throwback]

Leading scorers vs WSU way back when:

• Hamilton 26
• Belcher 18
• T Piatkowski 17
• Chad Johnson 13

No way I would've gotten more than 2 out of 4 without looking it up. 

 

By the way, WSU plays UNO tomorrow night, I think it's on the Pac-12 Network at 6, if you want to have a local reason to check out the Cougs.

So, it looks as though I went two-for-two in scoring order. Bingo.

Quote

Washington State 1998

The Huskers were led by senior center Venson Hamilton who scored a career-high 26 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Cookie Belcher added 18 points, Troy Piatkowski had 17, one off his career high and sophomore forward Chad Johnson added a career-high 13 points, 10 before halftime.

 

[hskr4life]

Our University of Nebraska brothers to the north are about to beat our first round Cayman Islands opponent.  UNO up by 5 at WSU with 3 to play.

[49r]

UNO finishes it off.  Wazzou's KenPom ranking falls to #155.  Still, they will be by far the highest-ranked team we've faced to date.  (UNO is up to #166)

[throwback]

Here's what Wazzu's coach said afterward:

 

“I think we lost focus,” Washington State coach Kyle Smith said. “They have good guards and they were relentless about attacking, and we were terrible all night about defensive transitions.”

 

Wherever he is, Cam Mack just smiled.

Cam, Green, Cheatham, all of Nebraska.

Anyone getting the stream for this?  Im thinking about buying it but its $30. Does anyone know if you can have multiple logins to the app? Would easily give someone my login info for half the cost.

I havent looked yet if multiple logins can work.  I'll have to check on that.  Just looking to save a little money for only 3 games.

What an amazingly balanced field, ranging on KenPom from 95 (NM St) to 154 (George Mason). How many tournaments are there where anyone could win it?

[Red Don]

It does seem like a strange omission by the tournament organizers.  You go to all the trouble to create (and publicize) an event then don't (or can't) make reasonable video arrangements.      The same goes for the upcoming South Point Shootout for WBB!

yeah I really hate when they do this. its such an oversight to assume that a fanatical fanbase will not, by default, want to watch the games! especially with how much the uni has been hawking this experience for the players and fans. who doesn't want to watch tropical basketball? paradise anyone? #WhydoyouthinkwelikeMaui 

[Red Don]

It's almost like they don't want you to see it.  After all, how many folks are going to go to the Cayman's for the tournament?  (saying this without bothering to look up prior attendance.  )

[The Polish Rifle]

FYI did some research on Flohoops and they have an awful reputation. Hard to cancel, terrible stream quality. Looks like I’ll be settling in with @Kent Pavelka and @Busch Light (the beer, not the poster) the next couple days.

TYVM! you may have just saved us all. Now...where's this shindig? Need me some way to see these games. Might have to resort to settling in with a beer and gametracker lol
