Hofstra Basketball 🏀

[Guard U @GuardUni]

He knows.

[The Seahawk Perch @TheSeahawkPerch]

Don't think it's accidental that UNCW hasn't posted anything about the preseason CAA stuff.

Big Pat was asked about being POY and, while appreciative, didn't put much stock in it.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

It's refreshing to be in the lead and no one is even near foul trouble with 14 mins left. Going to be easy for Speedy to keep whoever he would like out there for the rest of the game.

This team is playing great defense but in the most measured way I've seen in some time.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

Justin Moore is now 1-13 from 3P this year. @speeddeamon @HofstraMBB

[Guard U @GuardUni]

@SSN_Hofstra Such a smooth shot

[Guard U @GuardUni]

@Gaelforce80 @flosports I paid for Flo, apparently it's on MSG2 but I already paid for this garbage app lol.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

Same here. @flosports cannot do a THING right.

[Gaelforce @Gaelforce80]

Sooo, I turn on Iona at Hofstra early on Prime.

I get Towson at Stonybrook women's volleyball.

Kill me now

[Guard U @GuardUni]

At least I don't have to watch Moore trying to hit threes.

[Hofstra Fan @hofstrabasketba]

Moore starting…

BUT ZORG STARTING!!!

[Guard U @GuardUni]

The @flosports on @PrimeVideo is going well thus far - the broadcast is showing me Towson vs. Stony Brook volleyball instead of @HofstraMBB.

@joeyd812 put an end to this.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

@HofstraMBB FloSports is showing Stony Brook vs Towson basketball. What’s the deal?

[Zach Miner @EVBetsNY]

Back in our happy place and ready to hang the banner.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

Unsurprisingly they are near bottom of the league in FTA/FGA for this reason.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

Never seen this before.

Hofstra ranking dead LAST in D1 in a stat:
Avg. 2PA Distance.

If you watched these games, this makes sense. Consistently settling for mid-range instead of using a literal trio of 7-footers to get to the rim.

I am sure this is on their radar but SHEESH.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

Jefferson > Moore tonight, please @HofstraMBB.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

@zerospalace What happened the following days?

[Guard U @GuardUni]

@Del252853 I'm glad we have this one at home, it will be even more concerning if we lose it, though.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

Nuance, given we were brought into this:

1. Yes, this team is VERY concerning vs last season. However, it's too early to say for sure. Talent is there. Chemistry on offense is NOT. Defense looks good or better.

Next 5 games will be a nice measure. All MM opponents, 4/5 at home.

[Burns Alley Bombers @ChucktownHoops]

@TheBlandBanana @GuardUni I have so much more respect for Hofstra and Speedy than I do for Towson and Skerry. I think he’d be the first to agree with me that his team isn’t where it was at last year.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

The predictions for tonight's games:
@kenpomeroy: Hofstra 72-67
@haslametrics: Hofstra 76-68
Torvik: 71-64

Seems like the most accurate test of what to expect this year from Hofstra. Can't say I'm not nervous.

[Guard U @GuardUni]

I surely went too hard, but I believe this team always has a shot top be among the top in the CAA.

All we can do is prove it on the court.

@HofstraMBB @speeddeamon good luck tonight and put Xavier Blake in the Starting 5 while you're at it!

[Guard U @GuardUni]

4. This does seem like a year CofC and UNCW could be in a cohort of their own. I will admit how this looks ~2 games into the year.

Notably, if it were to happen, it would be only the 2nd time in the last 10 years they'd finish #1 + #2 in regular season standings.
