Re: MBB Game 17 Monmouth, Jan 10 (Sat) 2 PM

King Rice was not happy with at least one Hofstra fan. Complained to the refs and eventually Hofstra staff went over and talked to the guy. Officiating had some bad calls but probably went both ways. But what was with that call at the end with them fouling Preston. I think the Monmouth's player mayb...

Maybe we get through this game without Biggie but we need him to win this conference. I hope he is ok and this is just a 1-2 week injury.

Need biggie to be healthy; really a key player in our team that you could tell we were missing in the 2nd half.

EvanJ - Where you is the Hofstra at Drexel game on MSG2? Is that just Philadelphia area or something? I am not seeing it on the tv listings for Long Island.

Re: MBB Game 14 Campbell, Dec. 29 (Mon) 7 PM

KenPom expects us to win 82-71 with an 83 percent chance of winning. I was unable to find a point spread, but I did find two sets of odds to win the CAA Tournament. UNCW is first. One set had us second, and the other had W&M second. W&M and us are over twice as likely as fourth most likely ...

Re: MBB Game 9 @Columbia, Dec. 3 (Wed) 7 PM

Kenpom: Hofstra 133, Columbia 135. Doesn't get much more of a toss-up than that. But Columbia hasn't really beaten anyone yet. Hofstra would easily be their best win, IMO, which also makes me question the similar Kenpom numbers. We know those often need to settle out more as they can often be misle...

Re: MBB Game 8 vs. Penn, Nov. 30 (Sun) 2:30 PM

We’re 1.5 point favorites today with a 41% chance of winning per ESPN. lol enough said!! Love to talk to ESPPN's analytics folks as to how they can come up with a points favorite yet give the favorite less of a chance of winning. Perhaps Evan has some thoughts about this. We have discussed this num...

Re: MBB Recruits 2026-27

My first thought here is where did this money come from. Are some big donors actually helping out here? I know there was some failed attempts to get some sort of public collective going which seems to be defunct now. If a big donor is actually doing something here would be nice if they actually made...

I did watch this on tv until about 1pm when I had a meeting I had to join. Not sure how much you can take from this. Only thing I will say baed on this and the prior two games is we are still giving up too many open looks to the other team. The more they can clean that up the better we will be. It i...

ESPN+ and ESPN select are two different things. I have had ESPN+ for many years now and it also incudes various paywalled articled and other information on the website. Its $12.99 per month and hofstra has a bunch id games in this OOC on it.

I mean I am going to get the three pride lounge passes even at $400. Just was curious other peoples thoughts. But sounds like most people are on the same page that it is worth it.

Re: Season Tickets for 2025-26 Basketball

Pride Lounge passes are $400 per ticket this year (up from $350 last year and I think $300 2 years ago). It has been fairly crowded the past couple years so they might be trying to make it a bit more exclusive. Is everyone still renewing pride lounge passes too?

Good chance this first week of CAA play is our toughest week of the conference schedule. If we can pull out a 2-0 week it will really help set the tone.

ESPN giving us a 77% chance of winning this game. I wonder what crystal ball they're using?? Wow that seems high. I know this gets mentioned every game thread. The chance of winning is based on the two teams rankings in the ESPN BPI. The below link shows what goes into it. https://www.espn.com/mens...

Re: MBB Game 12 @ UNLV, Dec 21 (Thu), 10 PM EST

I was actually at this game and basically Thomas going 1 for 11 in the first half sunk us. A lot of those shots were pretty open too so it wasn't necessarily the defense. The shots just weren't falling for us. Our defense looked pretty good besides giving up some of the offensive rebounds we did. Th...
