Re: Men's Basketball Game 18 at Elon On January 12, 2017

To state the obvious, it appears that HU is looking at a 7 through 10 CAA final standing and a Friday tournament game on March 3rd. There is already a three layer separation between the CAA teams in the current standings. HU is, at present, in the lower third with DU,UD,and TU. The way the HU team h...

Re: Men's Basketball Game 18 at Elon On January 12, 2017

HU has not attempted a free throw well into the 2nd half.

Re: Game 14 vs. Delaware CAA Opener

To Flying Dutchmen, WRHU stated illness, probably will not see any playing time. I hope BB is better by Monday afternoon against William & Mary.

Re: Delaware

To Polito, once again I totally agree. In my opinion,this concept has taken way too long to be realized. Any improvement in HU athletics is dependent on the HU administration, coaches, athletes, student body, alumni, and fans. There is a quote from Edith Wharton: "There are two ways of spreadin...

Re: Delaware

To EvanJ, thanks for the support. The last non Big East or MAAC team that went to the NCAAT may have been the Digger Phelps coached Fordham team in 1971. Maybe there is another poster that could come up with a more recent answer.

Re: Delaware

Polito, thanks for the reality about the nine other CAA programs. I wonder how many other CAA member colleges were pleased that HU hosted their third Presidential debate, or that the Lax program is once again hosting the NCAA quarterfinals. How many knew that HU hosted the 2016 Wrestling Nationals a...

Re: Hofstra vs Villanova - 12/22/17 (Nassau Coliseum)

This is along the lines of what Polito and I are posting on another thread about how HU has to be in control of its own future. HU should not depend on the success of the members of the CAA or its administration in Virginia to aid a New York college to improve the HU athletic programs

Re: Tiffany (?) from the HU Streaming Broadcast

We should start a Tiffany Vellis Fan Club. In a short time, Tiffany has already become one of the best announcer WRHU has ever produced. I post this knowing that there are WRHU alums on WOR, WCBS, etc.

Re: Delaware

To EvanJ, this still does not answer the second part of the post about how the success of CAA member UD in field hockey does little to help HU MBB in local scheduling, and lack of an NIT home game in 2016. How does this help the MLAX program return to the level from a decade ago? The point was that ...

Re: Game 4 - Bradley

I agree with Flying Dutchmen, according to our friend Tiffany of WRHU 46 points given to a team that so far averages about 67 points in a game. Stats have been updated. Bernardi, no FG in the 1st half.

Re: Delaware

I agree with Polito. Very few local fans knew CAA men's basketball in 2015-2016 was the 9th rated conference. How did that help the CAA get multiple bids to the NCAAT? How did that help HU get a home game in the NIT? Most believe the MAAC was more highly rated conference. HU being defeated by Manhat...

Re: Game 3 - Manhattan

To joeg1, I was aware of Coach Masiello's background before I wrote the post. The HU arena, stadium, practice gym, web videos, radio station, etc. sometimes do not translate in the results we would like to see in recruiting and team performance.

Re: Game 3 - Manhattan

MC basketball uses a gym and has poor videos. FU lacrosse also does not have a 15,000 seat multi use stadium that HU lax has. The question should be why the HU results against other programs have not measured up. Remember both of these universities are private schools just like HU. By the way that &...

Re: Game 3 - Manhattan

According to KenPom's ratings, HU has defeated #333 CSU, lost to #325 SHU, and is down by eight to #234 MC. It appears there is a lack any real defense and no plays on offense that I can see. We may have to revisit the expectations for this group. They seem a step behind defensively and boxed out on...
