The wait is over—game time is here! The Tri-City Tide have officially arrived in Newfoundland, ready to take on the Newfoundland Rogues in a highly anticipated three-game series. This marks a crucial test for the team as they face off against one of the top squads in the Basketball Super League (BSL).

Playing three games in three days is no easy feat, but it’s an incredible opportunity for the Tide to build chemistry, push their limits, and make a statement ahead of their home opener on March 15.

Game Schedule:

📅 Friday, March 8 – Game 1 | 6:30 PM AST
📅 Saturday, March 9 – Game 2 | 6:30 PM AST
📅 Sunday, March 10 – Game 3 | 2:30 PM AST

With a tough opponent and a packed schedule, the Tide will need to bring their best effort every night. The Rogues have established themselves as a powerhouse in the BSL, but the Tide are hungry to prove they belong on the big stage.

Keys to the Series

🏀 Pushing the Pace
With limited rest between games, controlling the tempo will be crucial. The Tide thrive in transition, using their speed and quick ball movement to create easy scoring opportunities. Look for the guards to get out and run, turning rebounds and forced turnovers into fast-break points.

🏀 Winning the Rebounding Battle
Rebounding was a key factor in the Tide’s preseason loss to Halifax, and it will once again play a massive role in this series. Securing defensive rebounds will prevent second-chance points, while crashing the offensive glass could lead to extra scoring opportunities that make the difference in tight games.

🏀 Depth & Endurance
With three games in three nights, the Tide’s depth will be put to the test. Expect to see a variety of lineups as the coaching staff manages player fatigue and adjusts defensive schemes. The team’s ability to stay fresh and adapt on the fly could be the deciding factor in this series.

This is a huge weekend for the Tide as they continue to build momentum for the regular season. A win against a strong BSL team like Newfoundland would be monumental—not just for team confidence, but for setting the tone moving forward.

All three games will be streamed live on TBLTV, so make sure to tune in and support the squad from wherever you are!
