Congratulations To HofstraApr 16, 2019Posted by james
The recent college basketball season at Hofstra was a fun run. We didn’t get to the big dance, but we continue to build a winning culture. As an alum, I am proud of the continued forward progress for the program.
Coach Joe Mihalich completed his sixth season with us. He said that the key to the team’s ongoing success goes beyond talent. The guys are close. They play together. They work together.
The Pride enjoyed a 16-game winning streak during the season, the longest active streak at NCAA Division I. Hofstra was near the top in team winning percentage for the season.
Coaching at Hofstra is fun for Joe, because the players love the game. Each player contributed with a positive attitude and the will to improve individual skills and the team concept. Competitiveness among the players is high and going higher.
So, we didn’t earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The last appearance was during 2001. The coach knows that next year’s team will need to put in more work. The coach is ready. The returning players are ready. Be assured that they will embrace the new players. Together, they will take that next step forward.
