Re: Next Year's Team
Just saw we got another commit, Carlos Lopez 6'2 from St Francis PA. Looks like another potential high scoring guard. All 3 newcomers appear to have 3 years of eligibility remaining. If Speedy can land 1 or 2 grad transfer bigs, we might have a team.

Re: CAAT Monday, March 11 - Semifinals
Thanks Wags, just watched and it gives a different vibe than the article I read from daily dose of hoops which basically gave HU credit for their effort as if SB played such an unbelievable game and we just came up short. Speedy was clearly dejected in the presser as we all are. But I have an issue ...

Re: CAAT Monday, March 11 - Semifinals
Couldn't find the post game press conference, Hofstra hasn't posted it. I found a small article with some quotes. Seems like Speedy is satisfied with their level of compete. Gave great effort, battled to the end, etc. Really? SB went on a 13-0 in the last 5 minutes of the game. I'm not counting the ...

Re: CAAT Monday, March 11 - Semifinals
Where was the hunger tonight? I've been watching this team for 25 years, this was the worst game/effort I have ever seen. 1 win away from the championship game and they played like it was October. No sense of urgency, no energy, absolutely embarrassing. And honestly, I am being kind. Speedy, this is...

Re: MBB Game 30 @UNCW, Feb. 29 (Thu), 7 PM
It’s going to be hard for us or anyone to win three games in three days without any bench points. This of course appears to be true Jojo, but hopefully this makes you feel better- take a look back at our 2020 championship team and you will see the starters carried us all 3 games. The bench scored a...

Re: 2023 NIT
I don’t think I’ve posted all year but just wanted to say thanks to the team for a great season. This team is in the conversation for my top 5 favorite teams (2000, 2001, 2006, 2016, 2020). Of course the CAA tournament didn’t end the way we all wanted, but they gave us a NIT victory for the ages and...

Re: mens and Womens BB attendance
For what its worth, I have been to games this year at the following gyms/arenas: Hofstra, Iona, Sacred Heart, Univ of Maryland, Naval Academy, U of Richmond, Yale, Quinnipiac, and Mohegan Sun. ALL had mask mandates, all. Since I was there in mid December, Yale stopped allowing any fans at all, alth...

Re: mens and Womens BB attendance
Looked at our attendance so far. Mens is at 1,687 per game. pre pandemic it was 2,887. Also Womens was about 600 and now under 300 per game. Do you really think the pandemic and masks have not affected attendance. That's a 40% drop in attendance. Of course the spectator policy the school implemente...

Re: Calling you out Speedy - Get it Together
Agree Polito. Tonight felt like the Stony Brook game all over again. Team was flat. No visible adjustments were made all game. No timeouts used to stem the tide. Speedy kind of let both games play out. He just lets this happen. His style might be that he trusts in his guys too much. At some point yo...

Re: Game 14 at William & Mary Wednesday December 29 at 7:00
Dubar was playing well recently. To have him and Cooks both limited for a noon Friday tip against a confident Elon team after losing on a Wednesday night is a tough task. Dubar has been good all season and is one of the best players on the team. It would be a huge loss if he misses significant time...

Re: Game 14 at William & Mary Wednesday December 29 at 7:00
Just saw Speedy's post game presser. He basically said some of the things I mentioned earlier. They didn't respect the opponent. He thought they learned their lesson after the SB game but apparently not. He also wasn't happy with their ball screen defense. Cooks and Dubar both have ankle injuries. T...

Re: Omar. YIKES!!!!!!
Omar gets too many minutes. Not sure if it's just because we have nobody else? But something has to change. He should be playing 10-15 minutes max and if he's cold like tonight he should not see the floor more than that. Same with Carlos who at this stage of his young career is a complete non factor...

Re: Game 14 at William & Mary Wednesday December 29 at 7:00
Wow. Talk about playing down to the competition. What exactly was tonight's game plan? Just show up and shoot 34 three's and win? Team had no energy tonight. All conference games on the road are tough. Respect your opponent and take it to them. They weren't interested tonight. Pathetic.

Re: Hofstra vs Arkansas 12/18 Saturday
Hard to believe this team gets trounced by Stony Brook and then goes on the road without their leading scorer and beats a nationally ranked team. Did not expect this at all. When the Razorbacks cut it to 2 I thought here we go again but the team finally learned how to close a big one out. Avoided co...

Re: Game 11 - John Jay, 12/12/21, 2 PM EST
During halftime warm-ups of the Stony Brook game, Bethea looked like the best shooter out there. He was draining 3's with ease. He didn't look hurt to me and he certainly didn't appear to lack talent. Purely speculation, but could there be a disciplinary reason he's not playing? Can't really think o...

Re: Game 10 - @Stony Brook, 12/8/21, 7 PM EST
Many of the above posts, especially Zman’s, stole my thunder and are spot on so I won’t repeat too much of it. But after an unimpressive first half, the second half was downright appalling. They got outscored 45-20 in the final 18 minutes and I came away with the feeling that Speedy just let it happ...

Re: Game 8 - Princeton, 12/1/21, 7 PM EST
Closing out games is becoming a real problem for this team. They played a flawless first half. It's hard to believe it came down to a bank shot 3 by Ray to escape with the victory. Speedy and staff have to figure out the last 5 minutes of these games.

I waited my 12 hour rule in posting after a frustrating loss. I like this rule and probably need to adopt it. Definitely calmer this morning but the way the game was squandered obviously brings out some negative emotions. We have a promising team to root for here. There are plenty of positives to t...

Re: Game 4 - @Maryland, 11/19/21, 6:30 PM EST
A beautiful performance for 39 minutes completely thrown away in the last minute. I still can't believe how this went down. Cooks receives the pass and gets rid of it like a hot potato across the court to the last person I want with the ball. And of course he chucks a 30 footer that gets partially b...

Re: Hofstra women's soccer 2021
I'm not a soccer expert by any means, but credit to South Carolina, they played a better game and deserved the win. They controlled possession in the 1st half and looked very organized defensively the entire game. Hofstra did have a great chance off of a corner kick late in the 1st half but the poin...
