It will be a really good test for us. It will be like Northern Kentucky on steroids. We're going to have to show that we've improved a lot since the Northern Kentucky game."

    I don't think that's a slight at all. It's pretty accurate. If you read their fan forum they are pining for a sellout of a 5k arena which no bigger conference school would ever visit in the OOC. They only average about 2.5k fans per game.

      We should start a fyi if anyone knows of local establishments where the game will be carried. Not sure on espn plus running against the tourney who will have it on.

        Maybe a bit of an exaggeration by Wes

        For comparison Cincinnati is 53 and Virginia Tech was 81 (only slightly higher than Hofstra)

            Call Martinos (513.221.8487) and ask them if they will have it on.

                We’ll be in attendance today. My wife went to Hofstra and our 2 year old daughter will be dressed 50/50 Pride/Bearcat, a la Donna Kelce at the suberbowl.

                I’ve watched a decent amount of Hofstra this season and seasons past. They will bring energy 40 mins non-stop. They can score and they hustle on defense. If we don’t start with energy, we’re gonna struggle in the first half big time and might not recover in the second half.

                    I just realized because this is ESPN+ and an away game, Hofstra will be producing. The broadcast might be a little intersting a la BGSU from a few years ago.

                      I was a little surprised to learn that we have never played Hofstra until today. We've played a lot of the other teams out of the Colonial conference as buy games and in the NCAAs, but not the Pride.

                      Hofstra is 25-9 up to this point and finished in 1st place in the regular season. The key here is containing Aaron Estrada on the offensive end. He's the do everything guy for the them as the leading leading scorer and rebounder.

                      I can't find film on the Pride but it appears based on the stats that they play a four guard, one forward offense which might turn out to be a bit like Villanova. They have some height at 6'8 and 6'10 but none of the forwards average much more than 20 minutes a game. Outside of two freshman forwards, most of the team is 6'5 or under.

                              What's the over/ under when the headband comes off! It was just after five minutes the last game.
