I have a feeling its going to be a Hofstra - Monmouth Final. Hofstra has a good shot at winning it all

It's hard to imagine that in the Boals years we would average 3000 regularly during conference season and get those numbers for schools like Lowell, Hartford, Maine, etc. I've noticed how emptier the arena looks on broadcasts now even during the marquee games.

Now, Towson is up 30 on Charleston... this was wide open for us to take! Wide open!!!

You can do all the analysis you want but it comes down to the realization that the men’s basketball program has reached the upper limit of its potential under Geno. Only a coaching change will change the outcome going forward.

If told ahead of time, guess what...Shosh, Pratt, and Brown combined will have a monster game and SBU will pin 89 on the scoreboard we'd probably all sign up for that and think, great, on to the next round.

But then if told...however SBU will get nothing from anyone else, we'd probably wonder, Uh oh, what do you mean by "nothing"...

You're right Chairman in pointing out a huge improvement in most of the areas you mention. However the team had what turned out to be a fatal flaw--little along the front line, and the best guy in that position sort of checked out for the final few games.

As weak as the team was last year I'd argue that SBU's front line was no better this year, and perhaps worse in the end. Last year they had a pretty consistent Wight and Snoddy, who both seemed to play a bit beyond their size. This year, Goods and a few other guys chipped in without consistency. Compare rebound stats from last year to this year and the picture is about the same. And, again, when you then have Goods step away there was an especially big problem.

I'd say Campbell was just simply a better and more well-rounded team. And PS, as I'm about to hit "post" I see Campbell up by one over UNCW early in the second half.

Finally, is the university interested in taking SERIOUS steps to make SBU men's basketball better? 30+ years now watching the program and I can't say I've seen any strong evidence to suggest this.

Update: and with the Camels dispatching UNCW with another offensive blast, I'll admit to thinking a little differently about the SBU loss now. Maybe SBU was Campbell two years ago, and that's about the best we can expect.
