Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Siena opens as 1 point favorites, which is less than what home court advantage is worth
Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
that sounds about right - it would be nice to get this win going into the Stony Brook game.ProudofPride wrote:Siena opens as 1 point favorites, which is less than what home court advantage is worth

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Odds already switched to us being 1.5 point favorites, so expect the line to move serveral more times in either direction.

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Any other Hofstra fans attending the game? Siena plays minutes from my home so I've been looking forward to this one!
Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Ok fellas, let's FOCUS! This is the next game - no looking ahead!
Was surprised to see the early odds, but the adjusted makes sense now. So, Siena...
Good team right now, not great yet - high mid pack MAAC, have some talent, Jr led so they have experience, and their game is focused around the post guys - they have 2 good ones in Bisping and Ogunyemi - both 6'8, one a bruiser, the other more fluid to the outside - this game will call on strong play from Gustys and Koon
Their most talented guard is Wright who can put the ball in the hoop - a W/F named Long can also play well, 6'7 range - he could be a guy for Tanksley or Nichols to neutralize
Think HU matches up ok in terms of overall size - rebounding battle will be interesting as they have some talent down low - I would expect a good crowd, good atmosphere, which I think only helps HU (they play up to that) - lots of familiarity here from JM's Niagara days - this will be another solid mid opponent on the road - be ready for a battle at times, there will be spurts for both
HU has the FULL ability to blow teams out, they just haven't yet displayed they will do so without making things scary or forcing themselves into big comebacks - this is as good of an opportunity as any for HU to show they can and WILL follow through and put a solid opponent down well before the final minute - my new hashtags for the next 2 games: #MAKEITRAIN #FINISHEARLYFINISHSTRONG

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Interestingly enough, both squads face potential look ahead games after this one - obviously SBU for HU but it's also Albany for Siena - that is a BIG game for them, waay bigger than tonight's - they need/really want to win that one, mostly for regional rep and revenge as UA has taken them a lot recently
HUs game isn't until the 20th, plenty of time in between to focus all energy on tonight - Siena faces the Danes in just 3 days - who knows, could be a factor...

We have to pay 8 bucks to watch the game or is there a free option?

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
That's why as much as it sucks that Hofstra isn't on tv that often, I've grown to prefer Hofstra's stream of games. I'm always grateful for a free video stream that anyone can watch anywhere without having to log in. Your best bet tonight is to listen to the WRHU feed of the game.Hofstra wrote:We have to pay 8 bucks to watch the game or is there a free option?

Does the stream feel like it's in fast forward for anyone else?

Wait, I'm confused- why would it be blacked out in the NY market?

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Painful moment right now for Hofstra basketball... men are down 14-21 with 12 minutes to go, women are down 3-14 after the first quarter.
Siena is shooting 71% from the field. Their center just made his first career 3 pointer.

My guess is because it's a TWC production.HofstraHockey wrote:Wait, I'm confused- why would it be blacked out in the NY market?

Down 13 at the half. Only 7 of 14 from the charity stripe. After the App State game, JAM kept mentioning how bad our defense was, yet he still hasn't changed a thing with the team. Not ok.
Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Wow these TWC announcers are awful. Such homers, to be expected but c'mon

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
This team is flat out embarrassing. No other way to put it.
Jerry Beach summed it up well on twitter.

#Hofmbb lost by more (13) today than it did two years ago vs. Siena (8). With nobody left from that team. Inexcusable. #CAAHoops

Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
that was ugly. Nothing good to say. Bad shot selection, poor shooting, poor rebounding, again no defense! Shot 35% vs 52%. shot 25% on "3's". 60% vs 85% FTs. Certainly did not look like a tournament team tonight.
Re: MBB Game 9 - Siena
Siena won 81-68. Hofstra shot porrly enough that you would have expected them to score fewer than 68.
