He knows.
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.

Hofstra basketball positions ranked by how secure I feel about each: #1 - Center - Three-headed monster of 7-footers makes rebounding seem secure. There's value to come on defense. Scoring is more of a question. As mentioned in another post, this really helps avoid foul trouble.

#5 - Shooting Guard - The most absent position after G1 vs. Princeton. This is a position that is usually no issue for Hofstra. Just need someone to step up between Tavarez, Boyd, and Blake. My $ in the short-term is on Tavarez. I think he deserves a chance. 11 mins last week.

You can make an argument that this is one of Hofstra's deepest front courts in years. 21 feet of bigs will do that. If our guards perform to potential and Speedy brings out their best, this team has a shot at a double bye in the CAA tournament.

Now that I can visit this app without seeing slipgate (+ @HofstraMSOC lifted my spirits), observations after the first @HofstraMBB game: - Way too many mistakes; plenty of talented players who need to learn to mesh with one another - Same KenPom ranking as pre-season (143)

- Thomas: immediately Hof's best player. Other guys have potential, but he's the guy right now - Moore: Good passer + handles. However, 0-6 from 3P (28% career) + 4 TOs. He can be a strong PG, but we'd benefit from him taking on the floor general role. 8 REB shows he's VERY tough

- Jefferson: much more confident than I expected, but there's a clear turnover issue he needs to fix quickly - Basically nothing happening at SG in this first game, which is SO surprising for Hofstra. Plenty of talent, I expect someone will step up

After yesterday鈥檚 debacle, Victory Onuetu and Preston Edmead both with double-doubles for their new teams today. 馃

This is really taking the heat off us, thank god for the insatiable social media news cycle.
OH. MY. GOD. 馃く New Mexico State just put a layup into THEIR OWN BASKET in the final 20 seconds trailing by 1 Point.

I really cannot express how painful watching this loss was as a fan - just to see this shit all day is unbelievable. I thought we were tortured enough as Hofstra fans. I swear to God, someone sold their soul for us to play in one NCAA tournament and we are paying penance.
Teammates crash into one another by slipping on the same spot

I'll post some more thoughts before Tuesday @ ASU. However, a silver lining I've already taken away: Tanner Thomas.

Made mistakes, including inbounding debacle. However, Hof wouldn't have led at any point without him balancing the offense. If you watched this game, you'd know this. Smart shots + crucial rebounds. Painful loss, but I have faith in Tanner. On to the next one, @HofstraMBB.

This reminds me a LOT of two seasons ago. Sloppiest basketball we've seen since then. Brutal loss for the Pride. Going to have a lot to figure out over the next ~2 months before CAA play.

Also great in isolation, should not be shooting threes. Had a 28.1% 3P% going into this game.
Moore is incredibly going to the rim

Justin Moore is 0-6 from 3P. He has 3 Assists with just 1 Turnover. Can we take note of what he's obviously best at?

I didn鈥檛 know what to expect from Nick Jefferson but I鈥檓 very happy so far
