Re: MBB Game 31 @Charleston, March 2 (Sat), 2 PM
The lack of bench player development has been one of my major gripes this year. I stand by it, the staff has done a poor job there. It's not impossible, but it will take a small miracle for this team or any other in the CAA to cut nuts over the Cougars. As I've said I'm shocked this group still mana...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama
Yeah, that's been a huge topic over the years - is it better to elevate or better to try and dominate an easier path. All I know is I want more NCAAT appearances more frequently. I don't care where that is quite honestly. There is SO much to say on this, but will refrain here as I don't want to mudd...

Re: Newsday Coverage or Lack Of
Great points, two vital elements lost in the current 'approach', whatever that is.

Re: MBB Game 31 @Charleston, March 2 (Sat), 2 PM
Not the peformance we needed to see today. I'm sure some will disagree but I didn't find this game competitive at all. CofC is clearly better, and they've proven it without a doubt in both games. Did not expect HU to win, not about the loss. But they needed to show they could easily win next time, a...

Re: MBB Game 30 @UNCW, Feb. 29 (Thu), 7 PM
Gut check win for sure, and yep it's amazing the position HU is in right now - very fortunate. A combo of how bad this league is and HU finally stepping it up on D and stopped pretending they can out 3 everyone. They need to keep playing their game within their skill set - stay focused on how they w...

Re: MBB Game 31 @Charleston, March 2 (Sat), 2 PM
Yep I fully expect CofC to bring the kitchen sink in this game. It's the final game, home game, senior day, and would put the period onto their strong regular season. It's interesting, this isn't a must win for either actually. But I fully believe both want to win it badly. I expect HU to bring all ...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama
Pride vs Tide would be incredible! Ah yes, Cornell - that was a tough loss - but she showed her stuff in the SEC, can't blame her. I'm all for HU feeding P5's (future P2) with talent - it's a good place for a quality mid major to be today - we can sell the heck out of that to recruits. Having guys l...

The finale... CAA couldn't ask for better to end the regular season. A clash of titans. HU in great position to play loose and have fun.
Expecting a war. As they said in the epic "Glory", give em hell!

Re: Estrada @ Alabama
Watched the game, was awesome to see - Bama is on an upward trajectory, and so is Estrada, both at the right time. Proud of the kid and very happy for him - hope he and the Tide crush it into and through the NCAAT. Will be a great recruiting tool for HU in terms of development and path to stardom an...

Re: Newsday Coverage or Lack Of
HU promotes to itself - to the audience it already has - that's the issue. It is appalling how many local sports people STILL don't know for sure that HU is D1. That's HU's fault, plain and simple. They need to invest in a proper marketing strategy. Again this isn't rocket science - this isn't some ...

Re: MBB Game 30 @UNCW, Feb. 29 (Thu), 7 PM
HUGE win tonight, very gutsy performance - love the D we are seeing, the team has really improved on that front. They seem to have embraced that being the key, and not trying to force themselves to be some kind of offensive powerhouse that they aren't. Finally. Holding the W under 60 on their home f...

Re: 2023-24 CAA MBB Awards
ZERO interest in HU having another POY without an NCAAT berth.
But I'll take both. Dance or bust.

Re: Tom Pecora
Fair enough, but the MAAC is a weird place now that Iona isn't dominating, and QU is simply not that kind of program that's going to run wild. Ripe for the taking though... a new program has a big opp to take over now that the "king" is not the same for the first time in umpteen years.

Re: Hofstra Admin: Elon Attendance an Embarrassment
Eeehhhh... they made it known to all those in the know. I have no issue with pre-game, agree that's what has to be done, but also bet it was poorly run as tc mentioned. Stealing from a recent chat with HUSID, he said it so well. HU does a great job marketing to itself lol - just not anyone else. The...

Re: MBB Game 30 @UNCW, Feb. 29 (Thu), 7 PM
The CAA is going to go belly up in the near future, and it will deserve to because of its horrendous "leadership". No one worth a darn is going to stay. Unfortunately, HU's "leadership" has been just as inept so we have no better options. Great combo. Exactly the position of stre...

Re: Newsday Coverage or Lack Of
They’re aware of the Newsday non-coverage of Hofstra basketball, but don’t currently know what to do about it. This right here is the problem, and a microcosm of HU admin. This needs to change. HU desperately needs to hire more true high level collegiate athletics experts that have the know-how and...

Absolutely shameful the crowd I saw on Sat night. A WEEKEND NIGHT game, a rarity for this program, the LAST home game of the year, SR night, and we can't get 3500 people in that friggin arena?
