Awful awful news.. Probably one of the best grad transfers in college hoops history, going from averaging 2 pts a game to 20 pts a game. He was definitely a huge part of changing HU hoops culture at the time we needed it most and will always be remembered for that. RIP Zeke..

If JWF is not playing ball in a Hofstra uniform next season, the devastation level for us diehards would reach the level of the 2006 NCAA tournament snub, Tim Welsh DUI, and laptop theft debacle. Yes it would be THAT BAD.. Even though I'll always root for JWF, I am a HU hoops supporter first and it ...

I am 110% with you guys on this one. I always will vote for better quality BB and I shudder at the thought of dropping down I admit that the mix of teams in the CAA makes it tough for us (on many fronts). Wish we could swap out Bucknell for CoC, Iona for James Madison, Vermont for UNCW, and Rider o...

You are correct Dooku - should've been a 2 bid year for the CAA It actually was a 2 bid year (UNCW, G Mason).. it should have been a 3 bid year. The argument was always why Mason over Hofstra when Hofstra beat them twice but I'm still appalled that Air Force got an at large over us. Go look at thei...

I know what you're saying, but it's really all about MATCHUPS more than anything else Our probability of landing a winnable matchup in the NCAAT is greater coming out of the CAA than it would be in the lower conferences. I get what your saying about the upsets from lower leagues though. That's why ...

Of course Charleston will probably make the Sweet 16 beating both Auburn and Clemson. They can both be beat. Clemson was really good when we played them but I believe their best player is now out for the season. Anyone see the NIT bracket? Northeastern got snubbed. It's hard to believe the 12th ran...

To Wags, I am in favor of your idea to expand the NIT. If I am not mistaken, I recall that HU was part of a 40 member NIT field. I think it was the Nebraska, St. Joe's, ODU year. That's correct, in 2006. Hofstra was making the NIT that year even if the NIT had the 32 team field.. HU's RPI was 30. T...

You change conferences you will not get the same players...we had to upgrade talent going from the AE to the CAA. This is literally the only reason I like the CAA for Hofstra. Because if and when we actually go dancing, we would have a legit shot at pulling an upset. It's damn near impossible to do...

I totally get what you're saying Wags, any team can lose any game - I mean, it's college basketball lol. But I just don't think what you're trying to use to make your point works. You are comparing HU's issues with 2 ACC NCAAT teams - and to an NU HC and program that has made the dance in the CAA. ...

Started following Hofstra in '97-'98 when I was 11... they had a good team led by this Sophomore, Speedy Claxton. Best dressed coach in College too. First game was a 92-77 loss to UD at the PFC, I was hooked though. I went to that '98 ECAC Holiday Festival where we crushed Georgia Tech, who beat #6...

I'd be all in for a new conference with all solid b-ball schools from the northeast.. Seems like a pipe dream though..

The Shadow wrote:To members of the board,Where are you getting the information about Cole's interest and possible second interview?

Just some chatter I saw on Twitter.. Not sure if the source can be trusted, but it's out there. Maybe HUSID can verify for us, I'd trust him more than some guy on Twitter..

Started following the team while I was a student in 1998 after noticing on MSG that we beat Georgia Tech in the holiday festival. I thought wow, Georgia Tech, that's Bobby Cremins, that's the ACC, my school actually has a real basketball team.. I checked out my first game on campus shortly thereafte...

Sounds like Cole is coming back to HU for a final interview. Who knows if these sources are credible, but the chatter is out there..

YEP Same guy less than a week ago. Alot changed in a week.. Didn't think we'd allow someone like Jordan Talley to do his best Michael Jordan impression against us with little resistance... Shame on us for putting our faith in the staff prior to the tourney while knowing the 5 year track record has ...

So the "best" coach in the league blew a 17 point lead to lose the CAA Championship. My God, what would you guys do on these boards...he would be skewered and cooked. Yes people are entitled to their opinions, even if they are totally clueless. With all due respect, I think you should slo...

Yeah maybe we would have less stringent requirements as to who we recruit? That's a two edged sword so be careful what you wish for. Thinking about Cluess why would he want to come here assuming we would want to make a coaching change? Over there he appears to be getting tired dancing here he might...

So your only criteria for a head coach is to win the CAA....nothing else???? Tough to find somebody to take that on and I guess 9 out of 10 coaches in the CAA lose their job every year...LOL Yes that's correct. Isn't that why Joe is coaching? Doesn't he want to cut down the nets? I thought that was...

One last thing about our FT shooting and this has been posted before our Achilles heal IS ROK obviously and when you factor out his numbers we shoot FT's at a .747 % which puts us at 3rd place in the conference not 9th with ROK factored in. We're a very good FT shooting team for the most part!! Tot...
