Re: 2023 NIT

I made a mistake with hosting. So this will make us having hosted one game in each possible NIT round (before the neutral Final Four), but not in the same year. It is disappointing to not be on TV, but TV spots are competing with the Women's NCAA Tournament, which is on the ESPN channels. Honestly ...

Re: 2023 NIT

Cincinnati won 81-72. In addition to rooting for Cincinnati so we would host because I did not read this topic about Virginia Tech being unable to host until now, I did not want to play Virginia Tech because they have Justyn Mutts. In five seasons, his only 30 point game was when he scored 30 in De...

Re: 2023 NIT

They could conceivably host an NIT game in between, on Saturday in that case? This is the dumbest part about the NIT. Why seed teams at all with geography & travel being such a strong factor and when several teams seemingly ever year have to travel when they should play at home? But if that's t...

Re: 2023 NIT

Now that we can happily say this matters for Hofstra... Virginia Tech at Cincinnati on ESPN2 tonight (3/15) at 9:00 pm ET. The second round is Sat 3/18 & Sun 3/19. The only things we know about that round so far are: Sat 3/18 - Michigan @ Vanderbilt at noon ET on ESPN Sun 3/19 - TBD games at no...

Re: CAA MBB Semifinal Game vs. UNCW - Monday, March 6, 6PM

Took the kids out of school and drove down to DC last night. My first time attending the tourney. Super excited for tonight. Very confident in the defense at this point. Feel that is a constant now. If they are hitting shots, I think we’ll be in good shape. Hopefully JC and Washington play as well ...

Re: Hofstra vs. William & Mary, Sunday, March 4 at 12 Noon

I am going to say we need this to be a blowout. With 3 games in a row and us actually having a deep rotation we need to take advantage of that. Have our key guys play 30 minutes per game. Get the bench playing 50-60 minutes in this game. Help set us up to be rested for Monday. Got a bit more bench ...

Well looks like the whole premise of this thread is moot. Hofstra is honoring Thomas and Estrada for senior day tomorrow.

Re: Does this mean they are staying

I would say the only thing this means is that they haven't 100% told Hofstra they are leaving. I am not surprised by this at all as even if they are thinking of leaving I'd assume they want to leave all options open. I really can't see Estrada going to a 4th school; so if he leaves it would be to tr...

Re: MBB Game 30 @ at Stony Brook, 2/18/23 (Sat), 6:30 PM

Speedy won us this game. You have seen it this season compared to past seasons a completely different way of Hofstra basketball. It started with recruiting; we have what I would consider an actual team for the first time in a while. Not just a group of players relying on a star or two. Speedy then p...

Re: MBB Game 27 @ Monmouth, 2/11/23 (Sat), 2 PM

Confused about who's coming back or not. Estrada and Thomas both have another year or not? Both Bigs, Williams and Nelson BY do not? Anyone have an answer? Thanks. Thomas and Estrada both have another year of eligibility; we will have to wait and see if either decide to come back to Hofstra or not....

Re: MBB Game 26 @ Northeastern, 2/8/23 (Wed), 6 PM

We actually paly like a team this year. Feel like we haven't seen this in the past. Speedy really has built a solid rotation of 7-9 players; each with their own role. We aren't just relying on one guy to be the guy to win the game for us. But we also do have the luxury of having a guy like in Estra...

Re: MBB Game 26 @ Northeastern, 2/8/23 (Wed), 6 PM

so we are the only CAA team on the road expected to win It wouldn't surprise me to see Drexel win @ Delaware. The Dragons are playing well (just upset Charleston) and the Hens are not. Completely agree; Drexel is 3.5 point dogs in that game. Feel they come out determined after losing to Monmouth.

I was just going to quickly mention since someone brought up Dubar and after his 18 points against COC he has been in a funk. He wasn't hitting many shots beyond the ARC in practice. Thank God for Plotnikov. Also was going to mention the inability of Carlos to hit a shot today 4 points all from the...

This isn't necessarily on topic for this game but more for the overall season and didn't want to start a whole new thread. Does anyone know the tiebreaker rules for the CAA standings? I know it used to be head to head and then record verse the top team in the conference, then second place team and s...
