Always a chance in March because they have talented players in a bad league. But they are just not a good team. 50 points at half and they lose this game? We've been lucky to watch pretty good Hofstra teams year after year for the last 10 seasons, and we've been expecting this team to be one too. We...

It's been mentioned repeatedly by the staff. But when does that message actually sink in to the point it translates ON THE COURT? Anyone with a pair of functioning eyes can see the difference in intensity in the second halves of these games compared to the first halves. We're crediting Hampton inst...

The team is well aware of the slow starts and needing to play a full 40 minutes. DiPaolo mentioned it a few times in a short chalk-talk before the game in the pride lounge. For what it's worth, I don't think they played that bad to start the game. Hampton is a raw team with good athleticism, they s...

the reward is not worth showing up a team It's been done by other teams. It's not necessarily showing up the other team when the reason you're doing it is because your starters have started slowly numerous times. It's simply trying something to address a persistent issue within your own team. If yo...

the reward is not worth showing up a team

I'm sure the grossness of this game has been plenty discussed. One silver lining was that Carlos shot and scored the way they need him to (although a few trips to the free throw line would have been nice too). And followed this up with a horrid shooting game, taking too many 3s, which he normally c...

Agree with Cactus Its simple play a full 40 minutesl We're not talking about benching them for the game, just until the first MTO (which could be for only the first 4+ minutes). The reason you do it is exactly because it's NOT that simple, that they generally HAVEN'T played a full 40 minutes, espec...

no benching the starters. hate the idea in general, but they're not good enough to show up another team like that. they could lose to molloy the way this team is playing, starters and bench included. can't afford to take anyone lightly.

yes, a lot of dribbling and 1 on 1 yesterday. and i'm not suggesting they just shoot whenever they touch the ball, but be more aggressive looking for shots, don't pass up good looks, etc. they need more points from carlos, whether it be shooting more from the outside or trying to finish at the rim i...

thomas is way more efficient as the 2nd option, when the defense isn't keyed in on him. don't think dubar can be the #1 guy, and defenses are going to gameplan to stop thomas first regardless. they have two #2's and no #1, and no one else who can score in double digits consistently (although robins...

This is overrated. They won their only CAA tourney title with virtually no bench at all under the very coach you reference above. It's always helpful and preferable to have a good bench but it's not a requirement to win if your starters play the right ways at each end of the floor. They also had th...

very disappointed in the lack of energy we came out with and the team's shot selction, mostly due to Thomas who appears to have NO CONSCIENCE...he shot 9-26 overall and 3-15 from three!!!! So, right from the very first game against St. Joseph's (LI), I raised this. It was great that Thomas shot ver...

Agree with all of the above comments...there is a disturbing trend emerging with this team this year...we usually start VERY poorly then play well to get on top or close and then revert back to poor play...very disappointed in the lack of energy we came out with and the team's shot selction, mostly...

great run to start the second half but a lot of forced shots took them right back out of the game.

this plays like a free feed, keeps freezing

About as empty/quiet at tip as I can remember recently

Worst game they've played this year and still managed to win. But they'll lose by 50 if they play Duke like that. Couldn't inbound or break a press, and gave up a ton of open 3s.
