Hofstra had two buckets spin out in the final five seconds before the horn, a Patterson triple in the Estwick corner and then a Sunday offensive rebound/putback attempt.
Still, the Pride will take a 35-32 lead into the locker room against Monmouth. #CAAHoops #PrideOfLI #FlyHawks
Rivera-Torres has continued Monmouth’s hot start, and Speedy wants a 30 just 1:53 into this one.
The Hawks are pitching an early 6-0 shutout. #CAAHoops #FlyHawks
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A lot of people I know and love are going to celebrate tonight, one way or the other.
Game #79, the #CAAHoops championship between Hofstra and Monmouth. #Hofstra #PrideOfLI #FlyHawks
That first half wasn’t an oil painting. In fact, it played out a lot like the second half of this game a year ago.
Monmouth, behind 11 from Collins and 10 from Greek freshman Stefanos Spartalis, has a 34-27 halftime lead on Seton Hall. #shbb #HALLin #FlyHawks
Monmouth is still up four, holding Seton Hall to just 21 percent shooting and using Jack Collins’ 11 points to boost a 26-22 lead with 3:59 to play before the intermission.
Staton-McCray, the Pirates’ best offensive weapon, has two fouls. #shbb #HALLin #FlyHawks
Monmouth is back in front after another Collins three, swinging the pendulum its way to an 18-17 margin with 6:09 on the clock before halftime (hi Mom!)
Big fan of Jason Rivera-Torres, the transfer from San Francisco. He’s got five rebounds and three assists so far. #FlyHawks
Monmouth has stretched its lead out with 11:50 remaining in the opening stanza, ahead by a 13-9 tally on the Pirates. Jack Collins, who was instrumental in last year’s win here, has five points for the Hawks, who have forced misfires on 10 of 12 Seton Hall attempts. #FlyHawks
Off and running in Newark, where even in an intimate gathering, the fans in the baseline courtside seats are standing at the tip. Monmouth couldn’t get a shot off, and Stephon Payne drew a foul on Seton Hall’s first offensive possession. #shbb #HALLin #FlyHawks
Starters for both sides:
Monmouth — Anthony Martinez, Jack Collins, Jason Rivera-Torres, Cornelius Robinson and Stefanos Spartalis.
Seton Hall — Budd Clark, Mike Williams, A.J. Staton-McCray, Elijah Fisher and Stephon Payne.

NEWARK, N.J. — First time in a long time that I’ve gone through the first week of the season without seeing Seton Hall. That gets fixed tonight.
Game #10 (already?) comes from the Rock as the Pirates welcome Monmouth, who won here last November. #shbb #HALLin #FlyHawks

Monmouth trailed by 16 late in the first half, then got seven straight going into halftime.
The Hawks only led for 22 seconds, but closed the game on an 11-1 run to down Hofstra, 68-62. A deflating loss for the Pride, its sixth straight. #FlyHawks #CAAHoops
Andrew Ball, in the right corner for three and the lead, Monmouth’s first of the night.
Speedy just called his last timeout. #Hofstra has 19 seconds to hold for the tie, trailing the Hawks, 64-61. #FlyHawks #CAAHoops
Andrew Ball is having himself a night for Monmouth. First, he drained four clutch free throws to tie the game, then he jumped on a loose ball and called a timeout to preserve possession for the Hawks.
Another 52 seconds left in regulation. #FlyHawks #CAAHoops
Monmouth had at least three or four point-blank layups or jumpers that rimmed out, and that could have meant a tie game at this juncture. Nevertheless, the Hawks trail #Hofstra by six at the U8, with 7:28 on the clock in a 54-48 game. #FlyHawks #CAAHoops
Monmouth is down two after a Jaret Valencia slam sandwiched a pair of Bashir triples.
Speedy will talk with 13:20 on the clock, his #Hofstra team’s 16-point lead now pared down to 45-43. #CAAHoops #FlyHawks
Starters for both sides:
Monmouth — Madison Durr, Jack Collins, Abdi Bashir, Cornelius Robinson and Dok Muordar.
Hofstra — Jean Aranguren, Cruz Davis, German Plotnikov, TJ Gadsden and Michael Graham.

My last trip to the island for the season. Naturally, it features two cornerstones of the coverage for the past decade.
Game #52, with Monmouth coming across the river to battle Hofstra. #CAAHoops #FlyHawks #Hofstra
King: “We needed the money, and we were 0-8, so we needed the win so bad. We got so much better this week, and the thing we’re not gonna do is we’re never gonna hang our heads. I scheduled too hard, but that’s what we had to do this year.” #FlyHawks
Sha on Abdi Bashir: “He made some tough shots, we knew he would. He was the best player on the court today.” #FlyHawks
Before today, Monmouth had never beaten Seton Hall, and hadn’t defeated a Big East school since taking down Georgetown in 2015.
Both of those have changed, as the Hawks pick up their first win of the season, 63-51, over the Pirates, who now drop to 4-4. #FlyHawks #CAAHoops
They’re going down the stretch in Newark, and Monmouth—longtime giant killers for most of the past decade—stands 3:21 away from doing it yet again.
Collins and Valencia have keyed most of this second half, one that has seen the Hawks open up a 59-45 lead on Seton Hall. #FlyHawks
Monmouth’s double-digit lead hasn’t gone away yet, and the best part of the Hawks’ game so far has been Jack Collins managing the second half while Abdi Bashir took some time off.
At the U8, with 7:43 on the clock, Monmouth has a 51-41 cushion on Seton Hall. #FlyHawks #CAAHoops
King Rice subscribes to the Carolina tradition of playing through adversity. He didn’t call a timeout after Isaiah Coleman pulled Seton Hall within four, and was rewarded with another 7-0 run. Now it’s Sha who will talk at the 10:55 mark, with Monmouth up 11, 49-38. #FlyHawks
