Re: Next Year's Team

Yes I recently heard a sports analyst say that there are instances of very good players willing to fore go a scholarship spot and be considered a walk on because the NLI money offered them exceeds the dollar value of that schools typical scholarship. Sounded like a pretty unique situation, but I cou...

Re: Where is Tomasco?

This is what I saw: Griffin was present and wearing warmups (similar to what Wilmoth was wearing). He looked to have something that "looked" like a cast or wrap over his thumb and/or wrist. During warmups, he was out on the court with the guys, but he was not participating. Tomasco was als...

Re: Next Year's Team

Clearly we need a portal transfer to start at the 5. Wilmoth is not a 5, in fact, he may be our starting 4 if DD leaves. I don't know how tough it is to get "bench" or "practice" players, but maybe we should be looking for a starting and back-up 5 and let SS walk to a school wher...

Re: MBB Game 21 @ Monmouth, Jan 27 (Sat), 2 PM

Didnt William and Mary have a guard who did that on every shot Stu - You must be thinking of Marcus Thornton. Great player and shooter. And of course, if you got close to him while he was taking a jump shot, he would kick out the leg to draw a foul. I think he was the best I ever saw at getting tha...

Re: MBB Game 21 @ Monmouth, Jan 27 (Sat), 2 PM

Blew another one. Great first half and horrible second half. This is just who they are this year. Can look good but can also look very bad. Not mentally tough. Terrible foul by Washington. No clue what they were doing on the final play - didn’t even set up for a 3 to tie it. Getting harder to watch...

HU throws up 50 pts in the first half. Really good shooting, but more importantly very good ball movement to get good looks. Very unselfish play! :D

Re: MBB Game 19 @ Stony Brook, Jan 22 (Mon), 9 PM

Physically if he is 6ft8 as the program says then he has an NBA body He is starting to remind me of Tobias Harris Tobias is an inch taller and probably 20 lbs heavier but they seem to have similar games Am wrong in this comparison If Dubar is in the same league comparison wise as Harris we have an ...

Re: MBB Game 19 @ Stony Brook, Jan 22 (Mon), 9 PM

They pull it out for a road W. Certainly, a better second half than the first (what else is new).

Dubar plays very well once again. Carlos ends up with a good game as well. TT just seems lost or playing hurt?

At this stage, I'll take any Ws, especially on the road.

Re: MBB Game 19 @ Stony Brook, Jan 22 (Mon), 9 PM

I've seen the SB center (Fitzsimmons) play a few times - it will be interesting to see how our boys defend him. He's a 7 footer and has some skills. Hope our guys don't end up in early foul trouble.

Re: Where is Tomasco?

In addition to Tomasco, I have not seen one of our walk-ons in over a month. Yet, he along with Tomasco are both on the website roster page.

Hmmmmmm??

Re: MBB Game 18 Hampton, Jan 18 (Thu), 7 PM

looked to me like TT was totally gassed the last few minutes. Looked like his legs just wouldn't execute what his eyes wanted to happen. When he walked around during timeouts and foul shots, his feet were shuffling.......there was simply no energy in his step. Last few minutes he was coming in and o...

Re: MBB Game 17 @ Campbell, Jan 13 (Sat), 2 PM

I like the Plotnikov idea - certainly have nothing to lose! KJR will get his time, just not yet. Looks like Barrouk has been relegated to the Tomasco status - practice player. What happened to Farmer? Does he show poorly in practice? Did staff expect more in his few game appearances? Disappointed so...

CoC comes back in the second half to beat SB 93-87. A game with very little defense.

FYI - today towson nails a 3 at the buzzer to beat UNCW.
At the half, Stony Brook is leading CoC by 10.

Go figure :?

It was difficult for me to see, but did anyone notice if Barrouk, Parnell, Tomasco, or Wilmoth was on the HU bench versus Charleston? I noticed one player in grey warm-ups, but I could not tell who he was. Has anyone have any knowledge if some of these players are ill, or have left the program? Tha...

Hofstra is offering free admission to our January home games to any and all local students, so we may have some younger fans there after all.

Too bad this home matchup (which should be one of the better conf games this season) will be lightly attended with no students ......no real homecourt advantage.

Re: MBB Game 12 @ UNLV, Dec 21 (Thu), 10 PM EST

Disappointing loss...not so much for the loss itself but for the fact that we came out of the gate so poorly...would have liked to see more use of other players in the non-conference season...as mentioned by Wags, Barouk, Plotnikov and Tomasco (who I believe is hurt). Only one more game left in the...
