That is why I wanted Charleston and Towson on the other part of the bracket (I did not say "half" because one part has six teams and one part has seven teams).cactus wrote: Still very worried about Hofstra's rebounding but loved the defensive intensity yesterday.
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2023 ... ngton.html is Jerry Beach's "I'll Be Quirky: Hofstra vs. UNC Wilmington (CAA Semifinals)." The 94-46 win was our twelfth unicorn score of the season, meaning the first time we won by that score. We broke our record for margin of victory against a Division I team, which was a 91-46 win hosting Delaware on December 28, 2018. Our largest against any team was a 75-10 win over U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1955-1956. From 1979-1980 through before yesterday, our wins by at least 48 were against Rosemont, John Jay, and Old Westbury. It was the largest margin of victory in a CAA game since VCU won 112-53 hosting Towson on January 27, 2010. Estrada is close to passing three players who were teammates on the 2015-2016 team that won our first CAA regular season title. Estrada is 29th, and is 21 points behind Rokas Gustys, and 23 points behind Juan'ya Green and Brian Bernardi. He cited me by writing:
"LUCKY THIRTEEN
Per loyal reader EvanJ, all 13 players to get into the game for the Dutchmen on Sunday attempted at least one field goal. It’s the first time 13 players have attempted at least one field goal for the Dutchmen since a 74-59 win over Dartmouth way back on Dec. 17, 2005. That was 570 games ago!"
UNCW did not write a preview, so they did not make Game Notes that has a paragraph about all 49 prior games between the teams. UNCW will be the first team we play seven times in the CAA Tournament.
