Re: Transfer Portal

Kevin Schutte is from Zwolle, the Netherlands. After HU, he transferred to Incarnate Word in Texas.

Re: Transfer Portal

Academics should also be considered with the transfer portal. Every college does not have the same majors or reputation in a possible field of study that a player might be interested in. This could especially come into play after a few semesters of accumulated credits required for a degree.

Tom Pecora

So, it seems according to ESPN, our old friend Tom Pecora has taken over as HC at Quinnipiac. Former HC Dunleavy has taken a general manager position at Villanova. I'm not sure if this is an interim or permanent appointment.

Re: Transfer Portal

This was not really a surprise. We all would like to know why his utilization was so inconsistent. Also, It would not surprise me if there were a few other players entering the portal. Just checked Verbal Commits, there are already over 600 players in the transfer portal.

Very good article by our friend Wags on the UC-HU game on the NY Sports Day website. Good insight into the game, season, and possible team for 23-24.

Re: CAA MBB Semifinal Game vs. UNCW - Monday, March 6, 6PM

DutchPride86, I fully agree with your analysis. Too many poor offensive sets that became one on one. 40% shooting, poor rebounding, and giving up too many second chance points will cause a loss. Well, onto the NIT with the selection on Sunday evening.

Re: CAA MBB Semifinal Game vs. UNCW - Monday, March 6, 6PM

Tougher team won. Credit to UNCW for all the offensive rebounds and second chance points. HU took some very poor shots with too much one on one.

Re: We Made the NCAA Power 36

ZMAN3, I did refer to you as a loyal fan for 6 decades. I know the HU location on Sagarin, KenPom (#91 currently) and Massey (#94 currently). My family and I are well aware of how difficult it is for HU to get some positive, and well-deserved, local or national recognition. If Andy Katz wants to giv...

Re: Speedy

Congrats to Coach Speedy! President Posner and AD Cole,Jr. did the Wright thing! I remember that Coach Speedy said in his introductory press conference, "I won't let you down." We in the HU community are extremely fortunate to have Coach Speedy, his staff, and the athletic administration.

Re: We Made the NCAA Power 36

Until April 1-3, 2023 with the Final 4 and Championship games in Houston, aren't all rankings just an opinion and a fabrication? Come on, let us have some fun and speculation. Why do we look a Lunardi's Bracketology if not for fun and speculation. ZMAN3, You have been a loyal HU fan for about SIX DE...

Re: 2023 CAA MBB Playoff Schedule

The latest (2-21-23) ESPN Joe Lunardi Bracketology has HU decreased to a #14 seed versus Tennessee in Greensboro. Let's all just concentrate on defeating NU on Saturday afternoon, and then three more victories in DC.

Re: MSG

I was wondering if this HU-MSG agreement could lead to any basketball games scheduled at MSG. I would like to see HU as a part of a doubleheader with other local colleges such as St. John's or Rutgers which have had games at MSG this season. How about a return match up with Saint Mary's?

HofstraPride1, I agree. Take care of NU on Saturday afternoon, secure the #1 seed, then get ready for Sunday afternoon in DC. Coach Speedy has always issued the Coach Speak of keeping focus and the next game being the most important.

Re: 2023 CAA MBB Playoff Schedule

HU just completed a busy schedule of 5 games in 11 days. I think the team could probably use a break. Playing Saturday-Monday and then Thursday-Saturday, with travel, cannot be easy. Tired legs mean missed shots. Rest up a few days, get in a few good practices, and be ready for NU and then onto DC. ...
