A debate between the candidates for President of the United States will be held at Hofstra next October. (Will presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will declare herself a Hofstra fan?)
The debate over the merits of this season's basketball team starts very early. Saturday's game against UNC-Wilmington, usually a strong entry in the CAA, may provide a good indication of what is to come. No game this early will make or break the Pride but coach Tom Pecora did promise he was reloading, not rebuilding this season. An earlier victory against Manhattan was nice, but the loss to St. Francis was alarming. What's next? We'll see.

this will be a very telling game for HU, insofar as they are coming off a long break since the bad loss at St Francis. The team must show improvement. Gotta cut down the TO's and need some consistency on offense. Need to run some plays for the low post.
Hofstra misses Loren Stokes' ability to break down defenses and create shots for himself and his teammates off the dribble. Either Greg Johnson or Charles Jenkins has to fill that role. Plus 6-10 Greg Washington has to step up and show that he's worth a Division 1 scholarship. So far he hasn't.
