Re: CAA Tournament Seeding and Tiebreakers

There's a lot of talk about intangibles here such as the time of the game, fan base, time between games and all of this. I might be very wrong but I think this game comes down to one thing and that's containing Cacock so he doesn't have a deja-vu game with 25 points and 16 rebounds. In the game we ...

Re: Men's Basketball Game 28 vs. Drexel: 2/17/2018 at 4:00 P

9/25 at the line... 2/17 not including Pemberton (5/6) and Buie (2/2)... Gustys 0/8. Realize it's way lower than their season average, but that's going to bite them in the ass in Charleston if they don't clean that up fast. Between our consistent drop off in the last 5 minutes of many games and FT'...

Re: Hofstra @ UNCW

I get what you guys are saying, and yes, anything can and often does happen in college hoops - I'm working hard to stay on a more positive believing side, as I know this team has the talent... get to the champ game and roll the dice. BUT they have to actually get to that game. Now, I will also caut...

Re: Hofstra @ UNCW

People go back and forth after every game. The lines in the sand have been drawn. Regardless of what happens, people will bash the staff, and people will tell us that the staff is amazing. No point in defending your point anymore as all minds are made up it seems. We can come back to this topic onc...

krood, you have experience and insight beyond anything I ever will... I need to know from you, and I want the truth - not what you feel obligated to say, the TRUTH: Do you see JM getting the job done within his contract (3 yrs?) and leading HU to the NCAAT? I'm not talking about 'chances', that's b...

Re: Hofstra @ UNCW

Joe M has lost me. That was a disgrace. That team was not ready to play this game. I'm sure Hofstra is not going to eat his contract but we'll have another 2 or 3 years of this nonsense. Come on Mikey77!! Disappointing loss, YES! Sitting 5th with a chance to secure the automatic bye for the tourney...

Re: Hofstra @ UNCW

Most disappointing loss of the season.
Think UNCW showed the difference a crowd makes - they looked like a factor.
Hope we can get that 4th spot by beating WM on Thursday - represent!

Re: Hofstra vs Elon

Sorry to go stealth on this blog..... but I'm back. Continue to BELIEVE in this team and the staff! JWF continues to have an HOF season and is actually improving his floor game as a leader. Also, others are improving as the season heads to March, especially Pemberton and Gustys. Yes, PG play has imp...

Re: Game 18 at Drexel

Ken, thanks for joining, sharing your upbeat assessment and most of all the joy and excitement your teams brought to us Hofstra fans. The ND game I believe was a very credible 90-83 loss against a very talented team. As you said the painful one was UConn. I was at the NCAA wrestling championships a...

Re: Gustys and team defense

Trueheart is a RS freshman. Let’s not compare to either Rok or Sabety. In my opinion they have all done well. Rok numbers speak for themselves. Hunter came from a d-3 school and has proven to be a d-1 player. Trueheart still has 3 years left to develop his game.One thing true can do is shoot free t...

Re: Gustys and team defense

While I agree that negativity can be too profound on any sort of sports team, I will say that it's not too much to expect a little better defense out of him. If he was averaging 15/12 in points and rebounds a game consistently, then ok I could let lit slide that he's not the greatest on defense. Ho...

Re: Game 18 at Drexel

Thanks! ND was a tough draw - they had 9 5-star players and Digger Phelps with 15 NCAA tourney appearances. Down 7 at HT, played them even in the 2nd half. The real missed oppty was 1976, up vs, UCONN by 16 at halftime.... loss in OT. Still have nightmares about that one! The UCONN game was a kille...

Re: MBB Recruits 2018

HU should let guys like this go......
Whenever I read about kids like this, I ask, 'What would Bob McKillop do? He builds quality programs with quality kids......
More important question, how do we lose a Lutheran kid to Weber St.?
Hofstra should get every LI-prospect below a 4-star!

Re: Gustys and team defense

I mean, is this a thread to note that Rok stinks on D? If so, then yep, he does. But this is nothing new, so not sure what this is supposed to do. At this point, this is his weakness and it isn't changing. What we SHOULD be talking about after this latest win is the fact we've seen him show an abil...
