but still, no dancing for Hofstra since 2001 - maybe tonight

I guess Walker’s return made the difference. 12 pts from the freshmen and 2 from Betrand. 😫 

Apparently the Tigers didn’t know the tip-off time either 😩

I’ll take him. And speaking of DePaul, Gorham would’ve fit nicely there. Not much leaving Houston, if he’s not getting time now, he probably won’t next year either. One last scattered thought, I revisited Jason Gibson’s thread from last Spring. Those DC hoop insiders were dead on saying “schools will be kicking themselves for overlooking him”. Watching his HS videos, he’s added weight and muscle from then. As this season progressed, he kept getting better. I was unaware he teamed with Nova’s Saddiq Bey 2 years ago. Can’t wait for this weekend and next season! Go Tigers!

looks like we got an even more athletic Fobbs, 4 more years 🤞 

Sure hope Betrand sticks around

1:30 left in the game and Gibson dribbling around for 20 seconds, then looks over at Skerry for a play 🙄. Loved the last minute with Betrand and everything going in. Defense needs to show up in Philly. 

and 1 of our home games is a pissed W&M, seems we both win on the other’s court 

Still hopeful though

Thanks for the pics Mat!  Seems like yesterday for this ‘84 grad. I had saved programs since ‘82 and videos of all their TV games. Is that Mike Colclough in the back? Good times! Let’s keep this streak going!

Mat, Lafayette beat us in the semi’s, maybe OT or a one pt loss. Then the Leopards lost to Bucknell. Still hurts

Helluva win! I thought Gibson could be special down the road. And Betrand keeps stepping up. I thought we had a shot today, seems we’ve had some big wins down there. Wish I wasn’t 5+ hours away, would love to see the guys from ‘89-90. If Kurk doesn’t go 1-12 or whatever against Lafayette, we would’ve gone 3 yrs in a row.

Great team win! Contributions from everyone except Dennis. Is he ok?

The Skerry regime has brought us a number of good players, but rarely those who can lead. PG’s are usually your leaders, and he’s been abominable at recruiting them. His best PG was 6-8 and had a cup of coffee in the league. His juco PGs have been a failure. Without a good leader (PG), we’ll continue to underachieve. We’re just 5 guys on the court, not a TEAM. He’s either not recruiting the right guys and/or not coaching them. I must admit that for all his struggles, Gibson at least has the look of potential. 

1 pt loss counts the same as a 20 pt loss fellas

Really should throw out the 1-31, just sayin’

I was screaming at my tv also. Then I had a few IPA’s and everything’s fine. I’ve been a fan since ‘83. Yes, it stinks but “once a tiger always a tiger”. Unless you witnessed Truax’s early years, Jaz, Hunt, Kennedy ...   I mean we were BAD. It sucks and we should be 2-0 vs the MAC. As for Gibson, I think he’ll be pretty good down the road. Keep it up, I love reading this stuff. This March is the 30 year anniversary. Do you believe in miracles?

I wish. Last year, I retired to the Finger Lakes, NY (FLX) from Anne Arundel County. ‘84 grad, I’ll be checking out the guys next Sunday at Cornell.

Couldn’t believe we were hanging around (within 10-15), despite playing terribly. 3 made bunnies and 4-5 free throws and we’re within 6 or so. Encouraging to play that bad and still kinda be in it. Years ago, we would’ve lost by 30. And did anyone see Dennis. He played 25 minutes.
