It better be filled. This is not a day to see < 1,500 fans again. Hopefully, they'll show up.

Do people need free stuff that badly? It was always like that, and not just at Hofstra. Mets, Knicks games, whatever, people cheer the most for the t-shirt cannon rather than for good plays in the game. :roll:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/ ... game29.pdf is our Game Notes.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/northeastern.i ... ofstra.pdf is Northeastern's Game Notes. They do not write previews other than 'Five Things to Know" in the Game Notes. Chris Doherty leads the CAA with 9.2 rebounds and is seventh in Division I with 3.662 offensive rebounds. Iyiola is second in the CAA with 7.9 rebounds. After a lot of lineup changes due to injuries, Northeastern started the same players in their last eight games.

I wouldn't underestimate Bill Coen and Northeastern. The Huskies did beat Towson. How did we do against the Tigers?

Agree on Coen, probably the best coach in the CAA, but we are on a run and its a special day, honoring JOE...I think we get the win but it will be closer than all the lines are calling for.

ESPN now has us as 11.5 favs and gives us a 92.1 % chance of winning.

That makes a score of 76.5-64. Vegas Insider says the line fell from 12 to 11, and https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-ba ... am/hofstra says we have been favored in every CAA game except at Towson and at Drexel. We are in a four-way tie for the 26th biggest favorite of 144 games. I wonder what the most CAA games we have ever been favored in is and the most CAA games any team has ever been favored in in one season. If we are favored through the CAA Quarterfinals, the season would include an opening streak of being an underdog in five consecutive games, being favored in four consecutive games (which would be six if they made lines against non-Division I teams), being favored in eight consecutive games (January 15 through February 7), and being favored in seven consecutive games, which will be eight if we are favored in the CAA Semifinals.

http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2022 ... fstra.html is Jerry Beach's "I'll Be Quirky: Northeastern at Hofstra." The 97-64 was outr tenth unicorn score of the season, which is the first time we won by that score. We had none last season, 13 in 2019-2020, and 10 in 2018-2019. We are 18-9 for the fifth time, and the first time since Jenkins was a senior in 2010-2011. Jalen Ray is 7 points behind Norman Richardson for eleventh in Hofstra history, which would make a majority of the top eleven having played in the CAA. He's 148 points behind David Taylor, so he probably would reach the top ten. Cooks scored in single-digits in three consecutive games, and he never did that in four consecutive games. Thursday was the first time we had nine players play at least ten minutes since a season-opener at Rutgers on November 29, 2020. Six of those nine players left during (Shawndarius Cowart) or after that season without graduating.

Today's other CAA lines are Delaware by 9.5 at W&M, UNCW by 3 hosting JMU, Drexel by 3.5 at Elon, and Towson by 3 at Charleston. KenPom's predicted scores are us 77-63, Delaware 77-67, UNCW 74-70, Drexel 72-68, and Towson 76-71.

Today's statistics links are:

Us: http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=368974
It has rosters with only eleven players each. It excludes three of our four players who haven't played. It includes Amare Marshall. One time before a game the roster did not list Cramer, so I was worried he left, but it was a false alarm.

Delaware at W&M at 4:00 P.M. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=371154 (on YurView in Virginia for the only CAA game on TV)

Towson at Charleston at 4:00 P.M. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=367934

Drexel at Elon at 4:00 P.M. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=367258

We are starting our usual starters. Northeastern is starting Jahmyl Telfort (guard), Nikola Djogo (guard), Quirin Emanga (guard), Shaquille Walters (guard), and Chris Doherty (forward). Emanga averages 2.7 points in 13.6 minutes. They are not starting forward Coleman Stucke, who averages 6.1 points, started the last game, and scored 7 against us.

Having problems defending the 3 again today (NU 4/6 from 3).

Huskies on a 21-9 run to lead 23-16.

Very nearly the third straight home game with Hofstra leading 31-30 at halftime, but Northeastern gets the last bucket of the half to take a 32-29 lead in the locker room.


Ray (1/6 fg, 1/5 from 3) having another no-show game. They are going to need him in DC. He better find his game for three straight days there.

Cooks basically won that game on his own on both sides of the ball. What an effort!!!

Northeastern's largest lead was 58-47 with 8:17 left. They went up 10 with 6:02 left. Cooks and Dubar made threes to go down 4, but Northeastern went up 6. Ray had a three-point play to go down 3 with 4:15 left, but I didn't have much hope after Jason Strong made his fifth three to go up 73-65 with 1:31 left. Cooks made a layup with 1:12 left, and we won by scoring 9 in the last 32 seconds. With 39 seconds left, Northeastern missed the rim, Estrada and a Northeastern player were on the floor wanting the ball, there was a review, and the call was a shot clock violation. Ray made a three with 32 seconds left. Northeastern inbounded, and our defense got Shaquille Walters to touch the ball while out of bounds with 29 seconds left. Estrada made a layup with 22 seconds left to go down 1. We had to commit three fouls to make the bonus, but there was plenty of time. With 18 seconds left, Chris Doherty missed the first of a one-and-one. We could have held for the last shot, but Cooks made a layup with 8 seconds left to go up 74-73. I did not see what happened when Northeastern had the ball, but the play-by-play says Simmons stole the ball from Walters. With 0.8 seconds left, Northeastern fouled Estrada, who made both to make the final score of 76-73. Northeastern's final shot hit the back rim, but there was nothing to worry about because it was shot too late. We ended on an 11-0 run.

Estrada led us with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and our only block while playing the whole game. I wish there was a way of finding out how rare it is for a guy to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and minutes. We committed 4 turnovers in the last 2:52 of the first half, and 3 in the rest of the game. Dubar scored 13, but had only 3 rebounds. Cooks scored 12, which were all in the last 12:14, including 10 in the last 6:28. He avoided having four consecutive single-digit games for the first time in his career. He had no rebounds and 1 assist. Ray scored 12 by shooting 4-10 including threes 3-8. Simmons scored 9 by making three twos and three free throws without missing. He had 4 rebounds, and with 23 minutes he played a majority of our forward minutes. He committed his second foul with 8:52 left in the first half, but only committed one more. Burgess had 4 points and 3 assists. Silverio scored 3 by making his only three and missing all five twos. Iyiola made his only shot and had 2 points and 1 rebound in 9 minutes. Cramer missed his only shot and had 2 rebounds in 8 minutes. At halftime, Estrada had 12, and the rest of us had 17. In the second half, we had five players score 8 to 10.

Northeastern had the top two scorers, but they did not get much other than their top three scorers. Jahmyl Telfort shot 10-17 to score 22 and led them with 5 assists. Doherty shot 8-14 to score 22 and led all players with 9 rebounds. Jason Strong scored 17 including 5-8 threes. Their other four players combined to shoot 3-15 and score 12. Walters shot 1-7 to score 3, and had 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Northeastern had only 7 points off turnovers, and no fast break points.

Here are team statistics with us followed by them and the better value in bold:

Field goal percentage: 29/61 = .475, 27/56 = .482
Two-point field goal percentage: 21/37 = .568, 19/35 = .543
Three-point field goal percentage: 8/24 = .333, 8/21 = .381
Free throw percentage: 10/13 = .769, 11/13 = .846
Rebounds: 28, 37
Offensive rebounds: 6, 9
Defensive rebounds: 22, 28
Assists: 13, 14
Steals: 5, 4
Blocks: 1, 3
Turnovers: 7, 12
Fouls: 13, 14
Second chance points: 2, 7
Bench points: 24, 17
Points in the paint: 40, 30
Points off turnovers: 20, 7
Fast break points: 5, 0

Northeastern led in eight of the first ten, and we led in six of the last seven.

From the analytics, Doherty led all players in efficience and game score, and Estrada led all players in net points, which adds up to a negative amount and is not plus/minus.

Edit: Delaware trails 44-42 at W&M. Dylan Painter hasn't played for Delaware. Towson trails 41-34 at Charleston. Drexel leads 51-31 at Elon. Camren Wynter is fine after leaving the last game injured. Darius Burford has a majoirty of Elon's points with 16, and nobody else in the three games has more than 11.

On CSNBBS, the few Northeastern fans are focused on Men's Hockey and Baseball. There were not any posts about this game.
