Sorry Wags - you can argue all you want - they were GASSED! Yes they almost hung on - a credit to their heart and desire to win. Yes, if they made one more shot in regulation they win - But they didn't and even if they did - they still were GASSED - just hung on to win. Everyone could see it - they ...

On WFAN at 305 today (Mon)

Not sure this should be posted here but watching tape of CC game and at halftime HU runs an add to purchase tickets for basketball - Nothing like locking the door after the horse has left the barn!

Z, you too - high time I met the "sage"

Sect 102 Row B - End of Row on High numbers (If you dare - lol)

Amazing W - they played horrible defense (zone is awful - allowed countless easy shots), shot poorly, were sloppy with ball and STILL WON. Funny thing was - I always thought they would (although I thought they blew it with last TO). Considering how pessimistic I can get - that was a crazy feeling. T...

Clever wordplay JoJo. As perhaps a more recent student I can offer that kids don't feel connected to the basketball team. Obviously Hofstra may not be attracting the most sports-crazed students, but winning should breed attendance no matter where you are, so the only possible problems I can think o...

Offensively team looked terrific - you always look good when shots go down (not a put down). Defense is horrid as pointed out above. They really have no concept how to play 2-3. TU is not a good offensive team but (as pointed out) they allow too much easy penetration. Zones are designed to make team...

I am NOT a hater - Complimented Buie - think he can be real good. My comment (if you read it closely) was in reply to how the staff has improved the personnel not a denigration of the team. Who on the team is decidedly better ?(other than Gustys) NOBODY. JWF is a great athlete - standing next to Bui...

I have to say that I'm glad your not doing our recruiting Zman! Every scouting report put out on JWF highlighted his ability to play above the rim (don't know where you getting your info from). Regarding RG, if the rest of his career at HU only consists of layups, he will graduate as a 3 time CAA f...

Don't see it with JWF - first off 5'10" guys don't play above rim - (we don't even throw lobs to our big guys) His strength is getting out on break - haven't seen anything re his handle to make me feel it's anything special. Buie is a point with long arms, great handle and passing ability (and ...

I hope you guys are WRIGHT on JWF - I don't see it - I see an under 6' skinny 2 guard with an unreliable jumper who's strength is going to the basket - against guys more than a half foot taller and decidedly stronger. Koon has been terrific - saved the season.

We were screwed when Nichols went down (which I said at the time although only stating the obvious). This is not a good defensive team - the zone leaks like a broken dam. Nichols was the best defender and a sub at the 4 and 5. The 3 youngsters are not ready but they have to be used more liberally an...

Shafted ?
Fouls - UNCW 23 HU 13
FT - UNCW 12 HU 35
This one certainly not on Zebra's - On Joe!
And horrendous shooting

Joe has to stop being so stubborn and play the bench in the second half. ESPECIALLY in a game where you are being pressed on every possession. They were completely gassed down the stretch. Couldn't agree with you more! Totally disgusted! Season's best win turns into season's worst loss. Postscript ...

I'll put my 2 cents in (as I have in the past on this subject) being a huge college basketball fan - it's just not worth trying to attract "non affiliated" HU fans - they couldn't care less about HU basketball. Put them against a name opponent or schedule and you have half a chance. I have...

This is a killer injury and will ultimately cost this team any chance of doing anything significant. The only viable replacement for MN is AW - and his lack of development at this juncture will eliminate anything significant. Don't know what anyone sees in JWF - hasn't played enough and he certainly...

Actually thought Defense was awful - allowed 45% FG's (50% from 3) Taylor made number of comments about HU running around trying to cover holes in their zone. If you remember the game at NU last season, the defense last night was actually much better which might be hard to believe! The problem I ha...

Actually thought Defense was awful - allowed 45% FG's (50% from 3) Taylor made number of comments about HU running around trying to cover holes in their zone. Was glad when they switched to "man" but that was worse - Gustys couldn't cover anyone (he might have been gassed or trying not to...
