Re: Game 16 vs. JMU

Wags, yes there are a nice group of WM fans but there was also a large number of animated Hofstra fans on the same side of the arena. When was the last time we heard chants of DEFENSE from the Hofstra faithful...And agreed, this is a MUST win! I agree. I sit behind the scorers table and it definite...

Re: Gustys

He averaged about 13 points a game last year and is averaging about 9 points per game this year. I really don't think you can say that 4 point drop in offensive production is costing us games. He is rebounding about the same as last year and I bet that will improve with some of the conference games ...

Re: Game 15 William & Mary

I'll be there. Will be an interesting matchup with both teams having bad starts to CAA play. Hofstra needs to bounce back from a bad offensive game verse Delaware.

Re: MBB recruits 2017

My wish list for the three remaining spots would be: 1. PG (either JUCO or Freshman) that can at least contribute in a backup role. I have a feeling Pemberton will develop enough PG skills to play 10 minutes a game at the spot which will also help if needed. 2. Big man; ideally a freshman to develop...

Re: Gustys

This question was asked to coach Farrelly (spelling?) in the pride lounge before the stony brook game. He said no. He also said that gustys had just shot around 65-70% (forget the exact numbers) in practice and that it is just a mental thing with him in games.

Re: Hofstra Has The Fourth Longest CAA Average Travel Distan

This is probably why we play UNCW, CofC and Elon all on one road trip. We play at College of Charleston on January 7, at Elon on January 12, and at UNC Wilmington on January 14. There are no home games or classes in between, but making it one road trip requires Hofstra to pay for hotels/motels for ...

Re: Hofstra Has The Fourth Longest CAA Average Travel Distan

This is probably why we play UNCW, CofC and Elon all on one road trip. I bet when factoring that in it helps even out the travel. We also play William and Mary and JMU on the same road trip to end the regular season. I also just checked and Northeastern has some similar combinations. (A william and ...

I believe the surgery was last Thursday. Last night he was on crutches at the game.

Re: MBB recruits 2017

I get a little nervous when it looks like JM is waiting for Rok and the other bigs to leave before going after their replacements. I know that 2 years down the road we'll have experience at the 1,2 and 3, but I would rather not see those guys playing with freshman bigs. I realize its tough to bring...

Speedy Claxton is listed as being born in Hempstead but I believe he grew up in Roosevelt which is 3 miles away.

Re: Game 12 - SUNY SB game

Totally agree on Greer. He just kept getting great positioning for quick put backs and boards all night. You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but he is turning into a great compliment to Rok and Sabety inside.. To add to this I am liking the lineup of leaving Greer at the 4 and bringing Robinson...

Calipari was not impressed with the win, he must have been expecting even more of a blowout, he was surprised we kept it somewhat competitive considering what we lost last season. http://www.aseaofblue.com/2016/12/11/13910046/john-calipari-talks-hofstra-freshman-growth-camp-cal-more.

Re: Message to fans: Show some excitement!

Got an e-mail today from Michael Neely that they are offering two free tickets to every season ticket holder for the Stonybrook game. Already responded to it and having one of my coworkers come. Hoping a lot of the season ticket holders take advantage of this.

Re: Game 10 - St. Bonaventure 12/6 @7pm at the Mack

This game wasn't perfect but I have been to four games now this season (watched three others) and this was by far the best full game we have played all season. The stats looked better in the Medaille game but the quality of the opponent is night and day. The team we watched yesterday would have dest...

Edit: Hofstra leads 29-28. WRHU said Hofstra "regained" the lead, but the play-by-play says it is Hofstra's first lead.
I believe Hofstra was up 3-2 at the beginning of the game.
