It was fun while it lasted #PrideofLI

Boomer Esiason & Gregg Giannotti with Hofstra Head Coach Speedy Claxton this morning ahead of their first #MarchMadness appearance in 25 yrs. against Alabama tomorrow in Tampa. @wfansportsradio.bsky.social #PrideOfLI #RollTide youtu.be/0qznp7X-G6M

As #NCAABasketball #MarchMadness tips off...you know one of my brackets had to have Hofstra going ALL THE WAY!

I know all my former WRHU colleagues are with me! Good luck to Dylan Brett, Calvin Wille and the rest of the #WRHU broadcast crew! #PrideofLI

One more for the Hofstra women! Can lightning strike twice? #PrideofLI

Now playing with house money. Who's next? #PrideofLI

Hofstra basketball. Long Island’s best. #PrideOfLI

Edmead, one more time. #Hofstra #PrideOfLI

Speedy’s timeout ignited a 12-2 run in the next segment, and it’s been a balanced spurt too.

#Hofstra is back up four as a stoppage with 12:15 on the clock falls within the window to become the U12 as the Pride carries a 51-47 cushion into the huddle. #PrideOfLI

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

Cruz finally got one to go, and it’s a three on the left arc for Hofstra’s first lead of the night. That’s the good news. The bad news is he just picked up his second foul on the other end.

The Pride holds a 24-23 edge with 7:32 remaining in the opening stanza. #PrideOfLI

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

#Hofstra dominated Campbell tonight, picking up a comfortable 86-72 victory over the Camels in the #CAAHoops opener for both sides.

A winner of 10 of its last 12, the Pride looks like the Pride of old once again. #PrideOfLI

My last one of 2025. I feel like I always end the calendar year here, but that’s never a bad thing.

Game #40 of the season, and the #CAAHoops opener for Hofstra, coming against Campbell. First time I’ve covered the Camels in all my years. #Hofstra #PrideOfLI

They’re going down the stretch on Long Island, and Cruz Davis just put #Hofstra back in front after a largely quiet second half.

He’s got 24, and heading into the final 3:54, the Pride has a 62-61 lead over Quinnipiac. #PrideOfLI

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Usually, I’m here much earlier in the year. But with Hofstra not hosting a Division I team until now, a trip to one of my favorite venues comes right before Christmas.

Game #38 comes against Quinnipiac in Tom Pecora’s homecoming. #Hofstra #PrideOfLI

The nightcap from the greatest college basketball venue in the world.

Game #22, with Penn hosting Hofstra in the de facto Cathedral Classic championship game. Earlier today, Merrimack defeated La Salle, 66-60. #FightOnPenn #Hofstra #PrideOfLI

Fierce. United. Victorious. This is the Hofstra Pride.

We are excited to introduce the new Hofstra Pride Athletics logo! Two lions, one male and one female, stand side by side, representing the equal power of our men's and women's teams. They embody one Pride. One fight. One legacy.

#PrideOfLI 🦁

#Hofstra has rebounded from the struggle Thursday, coming out through the first 4:28 to double up Stony Brook, 10-5. The Pride is the primary aggressor on both sides thus far. #CAAHoops #PrideOfLI

#TUMBB #Hofstra #PrideOfLI

A very rare day game after a night game for me today, but this is a short enough trip that I almost always make whenever I can.

Game #21 comes from one of my favorite mid-major gyms, with @HofstraMBB hosting @TUMBBHoops in a Sunday matinee. #Hofstra #PrideOfLI #TUMBB

Speedy Claxton said he was happy with where his #Hofstra team was, and that was before the Pride beat Seton Hall Wednesday night.
