Re: Next Year's Team

This was rare, but it does show it's possible to immediately reboot and be very successful with a whole new team, with the right transfer choices and the right coaching: Utah State, an 8 seed in this year's NCAAT after winning the regular season title in a very competitive MWC, returned only one pla...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Dubar leaving sadly had to be expected. But if Dubar lands at St. John's that would still be a gut punch... https://twitter.com/NYPost_Brazille/status/1769799081365209394 I just saw that earlier.

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

I will root foe Estrada not Charleston and I assume I am not alone on this board. On another note it seems like the people making the NCAA draw have an eye on storylines in their 1st round matchups. See Alabama and Estrada vs Charleston and last year in pre draw predictions had Hofstra danced Lunar...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Estrada’s backcourt mate is a load to guard. Charleston needs to game plan for Sears more than Aaron. Yeah, fur sure. I wasn't implying that Estrada was their primary concern but he is a key concern nonetheless and it helps Charleston to know him well rather than what usually happens with NCAA tour...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

According to Verbal Commits, Elon's Max McKinnon, last year's CAA ROY, is in the portal. That's a big loss for Elon. He played well for them. Would be a great pickup for Hofstra if by some chance he wants to be like Policelli and transfer within the conference, although Policelli was joining a defe...

Re: NCAAT 2024 Thread

St. John's didn't make the cut and won't accept an NIT bid. Pitino would rather spend them time recruiting. With the portal starting tomorrow, there's no point in accepting an NIT bid if they're going to lose players before the NIT. This is an NCAA issue, not the teams' issue. Really, no team shoul...

LOL, I laughed when they announced it. So funny that he still can't escape Charleston. Charleston may be happy about this matchup. Normally in the NCAA tournament, teams are playing opponents they know little about. But the Cougars likely still have plenty of film on Estrada, who of course is a very...

Conference tourneys are crap shoots. It's never as easy as many make it out to be to win them, even when a team has the top seed.

Re: Women's basketball 2023-24

Oh well, fun while it lasted. Dominated in the second half (37-16, NC A&T). Lost, 55-40.

Aggies only shot 35%, but the Pride was 10% worse. Swint was 5/11, everyone else on HU was 11/52.
