Thanks Wags, just watched and it gives a different vibe than the article I read from daily dose of hoops which basically gave HU credit for their effort as if SB played such an unbelievable game and we just came up short. Speedy was clearly dejected in the presser as we all are. But I have an issue...

Couldn't find the post game press conference, Hofstra hasn't posted it. I found a small article with some quotes. Seems like Speedy is satisfied with their level of compete. Gave great effort, battled to the end, etc. Really? SB went on a 13-0 in the last 5 minutes of the game. I'm not counting the...

After the three missed layups in the first half, they missed six more in the second half. This outcome didn't have to be what it was.

Outrebounded by 15. 15! It was 12 (42-30), but same point. And who led Stony Brook in that department? The same 6-3 guard who led them with 23 points. Wasn't bad enough that he did that damage but then he also, at his size, grabbed a team-high 9 rebounds.They wanted it more. That should NEVER, EVER...

Dubar - 6 shots. 5 points. That's it, that's the game. I was saying at halftime, when he had all of 2 pts, that if he had 12-14 pts in the second half, they win. And they would have. He hit a 3, but that was it. Not another bucket from him in the second half, only one in the first half. Credit to St...

Towson got the rock fight they needed. This looks poised to go down to the wire Yup, Charleston is beatable if you force them to play that style. But they are also good at knowing how to win that way too. This is going to the end. Towson needs to keep getting paint points. It's their life raft in t...

Not yet. Towson now up, 39-37 with a 7-0 run. Thompson just picked up his 3rd PF though.

Yahoo sports show us as a 8.5 point favorite. Wonder what crystal ball they have? https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/stony-brook-seawolves-hofstra-pride-202403110252/ They may be thinking that Stony Brook is already overstaying their welcome and the seed that belongs in this spot will take care of them...

This is exactly why I picked them as the top dark horse in the tournament, because they showed they could compete with the leagues' best, even if they didn't always win. That and Colin Curtin also called it (after Hofstra's home win over Northeastern): https://www.midmajormadness.com/2024/3/7/24092...

Let's just say sleep has been lacking so far this trip (especially with on top of the hectic schedule, throwing in springing ahead for DST and 2OT last night).

I wish!

This will be Speedy's 100th game as head coach.

He's 66-33, so whether he has more than double wins vs. losses or fewer than that after tonight will determine which Long Island team will be playing for a championship tomorrow night.

When you look back through Stony's conference schedule now: - They have OT wins over both Drexel and UNCW - Beat Delaware by 23 last week - Took Towson to OT on the road - Had a 15 pt 1st half lead on Charleston - And of course the 2 very close games vs us They are a veteran team that has sneaky go...

If anyone's interested... On the quarterfinal day session: https://www.midmajormadness.com/2024/3/11/24097120/run-it-back-charleston-and-towson-to-meet-in-caa-semis-for-2nd-straight-year On the quarterfinal night session: https://www.midmajormadness.com/2024/3/11/24097127/caa-quarterfinals-stony-bro...

This was the 9th time this season Hofstra allowed <60 pts vs. a D-I opponent and the 15th time this season they allowed <70 vs. a D-I opponent.

Unlikely, but Hofstra could win a CAA title without having to face another top-four seed (7, 6, 5)

How many OTs will this be by Tuesday night?

Delaware missed it's last six shots after starting 11/19.

If Hofstra wins, the second semifinal should be moved to Nassau Coliseum or UBS Arena!
