Re: Other Tournaments

Plenty of decent teams in these tourney's - On a par with the GREAT HU! As to the transfers from the program I'm confident they knew HU wasn't participating so I doubt they would have "screwed" their teammates leaving them shorthanded.

Re: Other Tournaments

Didn't count exactly but I believe there are 64 teams playing in other Post Season tournaments - Why not Hofstra ? There resume is good enough. Programs like Drake, Mid Tenn, Ohio, NC Greensboro, So Alabama, Kent St, Fla GC, Det, SE La., UTEP and our own UNCW are playing. Some of you have frowned o...

Re: Transfer Portal

So here's the list of potential transfers: https://www.verbalcommits.com/transfers/2022 We need a PG. Could Cam Wynter transfer for a fifth year within the CAA? Don't believe we need a PG (unless we are talking about a backup) Estrada is the Defacto PG - He always has the ball - they need someone w...

Re: Men's Basketball Nonconference Opponents' Results

That "jump stop" and then elevating again used to be a travel until refs stopped calling it years ago and now everyone has been allowed to simply rewrite the rule book ever since. Since that's no longer a travel, the rest of it after that is clean. His right pivot foot stays down (and he ...

Re: 2022 CAA Tournament

Kind of funny - two years ago, right after Hofstra won the title in D.C., I asked Joe about potentially facing Villanova. He kind of half-joked, "Oh, we're definitely drawing Villanova." So what happens tonight? Delaware draws Villanova. Not just any other CAA champion (like UNCW, Towson,...

Re: Hofstra vs. Charleston, Sunday, 3/6/22, 8:30 PM

Agreed - there was nothing wrong with his knee - he was running and jumping fine. His unique skill set underutilized. They almost beat Houston with him as the 5 (and was 2-2 from 3). He played really well when given the minutes but when Simmons came back he became the 3rd string 5 instead of 2nd str...

Re: Transfer Portel

2.5 assists per game not exactly stellar numbers! Estrada avg 5 - Would have been better playing off playing Cramer and Dubar more.

Re: Transfer Portel

Can't blame Burgess or Cramer for bailing - they were not properly used by Coach (it's his team so he has his own vision) Burgess was a PG who rarely had the ball - Estrada was the PG and SG all rolled into one - and Cramer was not a "5" We all know he had a unique skill set and when healt...

Re: Hofstra vs. Charleston, Sunday, 3/6/22, 8:30 PM

I don't know if Cramer is a bad defender - but he's lost at the 5 - giving away weight and size and does try to block everything. If he's the tallest defender out there and goes for the rejection it leaves us decidedly undersized if he doesn't get it. He's just not a 5! Out on the wing he should be ...

Re: Hofstra vs. Charleston, Sunday, 3/6/22, 8:30 PM

We have Forwards (Dubar and Cramer)- Speedy just won't play them at the same time - instead he plays Cramer as the backup (3rd string) Center- What's wrong with a backline of Dubar, Cramer and either Iyiola or Simmons ? Since there's no depth it can't be used for too long in any game but at least it...

We're per yahoo sports 13.5 point favorites. O/U 145.5. TRAP GAME?? I think we massacre this team again tonight. We are rolling. OK from your lips but these games where we're favored by double digits scare me. I hate to see one or two possession scenarios going down the stretch in these games and w...

Re: Towson’s the team

As mentioned previously - TU has added 3 point shooting to their arsenal, and they beat us on the boards by 5 and 10 in the 2 games. Not to mention Towson will have a "virtual" Home Court for the Final. I'm sure they will have a turnout if the NCAA bid is on the line. That added element wi...

Re: Flo Sports SUCKS!

I've been watching exclusively on my laptop - THE REPLAY ONLY - Don't know the score and have had NO ISSUES - In fact I can hit the 15 second icon to fast forward through the commercials and half time. Once again - NO ISSUES and can watch game in an hour 15-20 mins without missing a play.

Re: MBB @ Drexel, Thursday, 2/10/22, 7 PM

A VERY GOOD WIN - teams are pretty even and Estrada easily the difference - I'm to the point where I'm surprised when he misses. Be wise for opposition to take the ball out of his hands. On the negative side the D is and wasn't as solid as necessary to take the CAA tourney. Drexel got to the basket ...

Re: MBB vs. UNCW, Monday, 2/7/22, 5 PM

ESPN giving us an 87.6 win percentage and we are 7.5 point favs….seems very high to me based upon our performance against them in NC. That seems insane considering not only HU's loss at UNCW, but what Towson did in a rematch after HU lost there. But let's hope those odds and spread are right! Point...
