It's an aggressive schedule. 3 home games plus a road win would not be bad. It's just warmup for the league.HofstraMathew wrote:I think the 3 home games, Stony Brook and Monmouth we should be the favorites. If we can get those and then steal another somewhere we end up with a 6-5 record. But maybe call me optimistic I feel like we can get to 7-4; just depends how quickly the team can play like a team. Would be amazing to grab one of those top 25 wins though.
This is cool for me since my name is close (Jon Jay) and we've already played Wagner.Jojogunne wrote:We just added a home game with John Jay at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 12.
If nothing else, it can help merely from a confidence standpoint. Remember, two years ago, following a bad 15-point loss in which HU played poorly at Bucknell, they blew out NY Tech at home (granted, DII, not DIII, but still nowhere near HU's level) before HU won its next game at UCLA.Cards wrote:I see the value in doing something game related to fill in the scheduling gap, however, a D3 team like JJ is a step down from playing D2 Molloy. Maybe if we're trying some new defensive looks or something like that, but I don't think it does much to prep for the Razorbacks.
Wow, that's pretty disappointing. Great that they got the very good OOC slate they got on the road, but how - especially with the number of local D-1 teams in the area - do they not host a single D-1 team OOC for the first time in their CAA era?EvanJ wrote:This is the first season we do not host a Division I team in New York since our last season in the America East in 1999-2000.
Mason won at Maryland tonight, 71-66. That'll likely drop Maryland out of the Top 25, but not until Monday, when the new polls come out, after they play HU Friday.Wags wrote:#21 Maryland (where HU plays 11/19) has not been that impressive for a Top 25 team.
Beat Quinnipiac by 14 at home (not close, but should have been easier, I think).
Trailed GW and Vermont at halftime, also both at home, beating GW by just seven and Vermont by 11.
They host our old friends George Mason on Wednesday before hosting Hofstra on Friday next week.
Might be a good opportunity (especially after what we saw in Houston) for Hofstra to get a nice Top 25 road win.
There are 22 Division I teams in New York. When I said "New York," I meant the state, not NYC and its suburbs. Taking ourselves, Big East's St. John's, ACC's Syracuse, and A10's Fordham and St. Bonaventure out leaves these 17 mid-majors:Wags wrote:Wow, that's pretty disappointing.

Would still be a very good win if HU can get it, but would maybe mean a little less now? Saw that coming, that Maryland looked beatable after those first few results before tonight.
