Blue Ribbon gave POY to Ray.

Amen very deserving too bad he's nursing an injury hopefully he will be OK come opening game.

After starting the year with no votes in the mid-major poll, we're now receiving 13. Other notables: Delaware w/ 7 votes, Charleston w/9. Princeton has 32. And Iona, our opponent tonight, is ranked 10th.

What is it with Newsday?
All of their coverage of Hofstra always has some sort of negative twist like yesterday's headline, "Hofstra falters down the stretch again" in its coverqage of the Iona game.
That is increibly misleading!
Meanwhil every Stony Brook article say something like this "Stony Brook's incredible effort just falls short," even though they lose by 20!
Is it just me??? Or does anyone read this rag anymore?

HUSID - I stopped my subscription to Newsday several years ago. "Rag" is the perfect description.

I wonder who their sports editor is Is Steve Marcus still at the paper/

Jon it will only get worse as SBUs womens BB team just beat St Johns by 12 and Rutgers by 9.They are now 4-0 on the season

Not sure if HU has a block of seats saved and available for fans for thier game at SB, but only a few open seats left on the SB website. I picked up a few seats yesterday>

Newsday is straight up garbage. I highly recommend that everyone boycott and cease to support them – I have stopped utilizing them in any way shape or form for years now. Their Hofstra negative bias is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting. I refuse to give them even a click on the web.

Thats it Polito tell us how you really feel. LOL!

We should all write letters to the sports editor...I plan on doing so.

I dont think it will change anything It seems that SBU has some alumni working at Newsday

To Husid lets look at Hofstras report on their win over Molloy Not one mention in the story that Molloy was a division 2 team Also was not impressed by the post game presser This team cannot shoot Molloy because of only 9 players on the team sat in a zone all game and dared us to shoot the 3 ball Come conference play that will be the scouting report on this team How bad us it We scored only 52, points against a div2 team

As I had already mentioned here and got no reply How come the coach didn't do the post presser after the embarrassing loss to Albany? Instead she sends out the asst. coach to listen to the tough questions about this team??????

Triple C no idea but she did the presser this time

That's ok because there was no mention of it in Newsday...not even in the sscores agate...two LI schools playing.

How about a paragraph?

Yes That is just non coverage as opposed to slanting a story. So Hofstra sugar coated the story by omission . It goes both ways.

To be honest with you when I saw the close score I thought to myself wow Molloy must have gone D1 because realistically we should have won in a major lopsided score.
