Guard U

He knows.

He’s about as imposing as it gets in this league, but ASU was more of a mismatch in terms of the whole team. #15 in average height on the court. Hofstra and UNCW are nearly even. Facing SEC, ACC, B12, hits different.

I think we are in the best position to hold our own against this sort of player that we have been in years. Do I expect to shut him down? Of course not. Do I think we have a shot to limit his impact with Zorgvol and Wewe? Yes. No shade to Onuetu (foul machine) and Sunday.

Good game from Nick Jefferson, too. 11 PTS (5-13 FG, 1-1 3P) 5 REB 5 AST 0 TO Super athletic, tough for his size, and great ball handling. Still a bit trigger happy, but I can live with missed mid-range jumpers over unnecessary threes.

Only one thought I want to get out tonight. Xavier Blake only needed 13 mins on the court to be Hofstra’s most efficient scorer. 12 PTS 5-11 FG 2-5 3P 0 TO

XAVIER BLAKE SIGHTING!

Replying with memes on Twitter is all Towson fans have. We can let them have that.

Hofstra may play decent in CAA play if they don’t have to face anyone who is 7’3”.

This team that is losing by 9 has made some mistakes, but looks more like a cohesive unit than last week against a weaker opponent. Really pleased to see some strong guard play even when trailing by a decent margin.

Speedy putting two 7-footers on the court at the same time ROCKS.

Tavarez era starts now.

Zorgvol is nowhere near as aggressive as I would have thought on defense, but really seems foul averse which is fair.

Justin Moore shoots under 30% from 3P across a relatively long college career. Why is he shooting more threes than any other player?

A reminder that it’s always going to be the Colonial to anyone who doesn’t follow this conference.

We got Boyd over Tavarez. All good, Speedy really seems to believe in him. Looking forward to seeing what we get out of the SG position today.

ASU has played two games this year. They're obviously a much better team on paper. Not going to sugarcoat that. Way too early, but they've played poor 3P defense so far against two teams worse than Hofstra. If this is a legit weak point, need to find a way to expose it.

I want to see Deywilk Tavarez starting tonight with both Boyd and Blake off-the-bench. Someone's gotta step up from behind the arc. @speeddeamon @HofstraMBB

No height advantage tonight wtf 😭

Hofstra has one thing it can do immediately to reset the narrative after last Thursday night. We know what it is. It’s not easy, but also not impossible.

Hofstra’s game @ Arizona St by the predictors: - KenPom: ASU 75-63 - Haslam: ASU 81-68 - Torvik: ASU 73-60
