don't want to get overly optomistic, but I hope we can get enough of a lead to let all palyers get minutes and starters to get some rest.

Pretty sloppy first half - never really got in an offensive rythm - several shots way off the mark. Second half was a different team. Guys shot well, moved the ball well, and played with a real competetive fire. It was an exciting finish with Dion coming through in the clutch! I'm pleasantly surpris...

Watched the game on ESPN3. Losing an away game to an ACC team this early in the season is not a knock against us (although the first 10 minutes was tough to watch). It's clear to me this will be a very good season for us. Given our schedule (and barring injuries) I still contend we should win around...

Game notes say that NCS does not shoot the "3" very well, nor do they defend it well. Could be a nice game for our 3-point shooters. On the other hand, if they pound it down low all game it will be a real test for Moussa, Rokas, and Andre. We'll have to be carefull with our forwards foul s...

I was at the game as well. Agree with all the comments above - jsut a great all around effort. I hope that in future games, like at NC State, that if we don't come out of the gate hot as a pistol (like on Friday) that we don't start pressing. Playing with a lead when all shooters a hot is one thing,...

I'm very happy with Gustys and Walker (and Djambo)!

Just noticed that Northearstern is stocking up on big man talent for next year. Two 6-11 PFs both of which are 3* recruits. Also another 6-9 guy (2*). Seems like they are one the same path as Hofstra - really trying to have an impact team and bright future.

Yes, my mistake, it was Old Dominion. The old Stokes, Rivera, Agudio days Wasnt that the year that for a while HU had the highest scoring backcourt (3 gaurd offense) in the nation. I don't think they finished the year at the top, but I think they had that distinction for a while. yes jojo, we did ho...

I'm with you Stuball. Looking for close to or just over 20 wins. In fact, 18 - 22 sounds about right. LOL

WB Mason Coaches interview. As before, the accolades for Gustys keep coming. Even JAM said he is surprised how well Rokus is playing - not like a freshman.

Just looking at the 2013 RPIs and SI preseason rankings that Jojo posted (thanks by the way for posting them). Seems to me that even with a very good record (especailly early on) it will be unlikely that HU would get a decent PRI ranking. Too many teams on our schedule we will be expected to easily ...

Anyone hear anything about the "secret scrimmage" at St. Joe's on Saturday?? Any flies on the wall??

Thanks Stu - Just in case we are not in the NCAAs, I did not want it to be one OR the other. Hoping for NIT if not NCAA.

So what is going on with Traci Carter? A while back someone stated that he was on campus for a visit. I don't see anything that indicates we ever offered him. Are we no longer interested because of JWF and DB (although I would find it hard to think we would turn away a 4 star recruit). Maybe followi...

I have a postseason tourney question. Do you have to declare before the season what tourney you want to be potnetially involved in? For instance, if you declare for the CBI/CIT are you inelegible for the NIT? I thought that was the case, and that a few years ago HU was in with the CBI instead of the...

Thanks HUSID - good breakdown of things to look forward to. This is the most excited I've been going into a season in quite some time.

good to see hard working athletes going for thier dream and payday.

I agree 100% guys. No reason to rush to get anyone unless they are impact players. We already have a solid team for 2015/2016. Any additions now should only be for additional upgrades - which given the talent already on board, the addition would have to be a real stud.

We don't really know yet if the other CAA teams will come up with a freshman surprise - that being said, I agree with you Polito. I will be surprised this year if he is not a big part of the team and a real force on the court. Imagine him after he's got a few years under his belt!!!!! I actually had...

Excellent news regarding Buie! JAM is really stacking up the talent for both the short and long-term. Regarding scholarships - we have 11 scolly players now (including Djambo). Lose Nesmith/Kone this year and replace with JWF/Buie. Still keeps us at 11 for next year - 2 open slots. Maybe we go for o...
