22 Hofstra Basketball Outlook The Hofstra Men s Basketball team has improved its conference record every year since joining the Colonial Athletic Association in The Pride is optimistic it can continue that streak again this winter and challenge for the CAA title. Hofstra returns four starters from a team that finished 21-9, including 12-6 in the CAA, and earned a berth in the Postseason NIT a year ago. In addition, the Pride boasts one of the nation s best backcourts in junior guard Loren Stokes (18.3 ppg) and sophomore guard Antoine Agudio (15.1 ppg), both of whom are capable of averaging 20 points a game this season. If there is a question mark for the Pride on paper, it may be in the low post scoring department, as graduated senior Wendell Gibson was the team s best interior scorer last season. However, Gibson missed the first 11 games last year with an injury, and junior college transfer Adrian Uter gained valuable game experience in his absence. The Pride went 10-1 with Uter as the starting center last year, with the only loss a five-point defeat at seventh-ranked and eventual Big East Champion Syracuse. Hofstra hopes to be able to challenge defending champion Old Dominion for the CAA title this season. The two teams split their regular season match-ups last year, with the road team winning each Antoine Agudio Guard game. The CAA will be highly competitive, though, with VCU, UNC Wilmington, Drexel and George Mason also figuring to be in the mix, as well as CAA newcomer Northeastern. Here is a position-by-position look at the Pride: GUARD Last year, injuries to the Pride s frontcourt forced the team to rely more heavily on its young, but talented backcourt, and the results were clearly evident. Despite starting two sophomores (Loren Stokes, Carlos Rivera) and a freshman (Antoine Agudio) in its three-man backcourt, the Pride roared out of the gate to a 9-0 record and finished the season in the Postseason NIT. Gibran Washington Guard This season, those guards are a year older and are certain to cause a wide array of match-up problems. Stokes is a lightning-quick slasher, who is virtually impossible to guard off the dribble. He is also fearless when it comes to taking the ball to the hole, as he took 221 foul shots last year (nearly tripling the total of his next closest teammate) and led Hofstra in rebounding with 183 (6.1 per game). He was one of only 22 H O F S T R A U N I V E R S I T Y

23 Hofstra Basketball Outlook three players in the nation to finish in the top 10 in his conference in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. Stokes ability to break down the defense was able to open the floor up for the other shooters on the team, including Agudio and Rivera. Agudio broke the Hofstra record for three-pointers in a season with 82, putting him on an early pace to become only the fifth player in CAA history with over 300 three-pointers in a career (the Hofstra record is only 192). Agudio also showed the ability to take the ball to the basket and create his own shot off the dribble, giving him a well-rounded offensive game. Carlos Rivera Guard Stokes and Agudio are both capable of averaging 20 points per game in the same backcourt this season. However, the biggest obstacle standing in the way of a possible guard combination might be Rivera. Rivera averaged just over 10 ppg as a freshman in before tearing an ACL late in the regular season. He went through some complications with his knee last year, but is expected to be back to full strength this year, which would give the Pride a third offensive weapon in the backcourt to take some of the pressure off Stokes and Agudio. Depth will also not be an issue for the Pride this season in the backcourt. Senior Gibran Washington figures to be a valuable member of Hofstra s guard rotation this season. Washington turned several games around last year with his hustle and intensity, and he also can fill a role as a defensive stopper when needed. Washington played in all 30 games last year, including four starts, and has 28 starts in his career. Sophomore Jorge Lebron earned valuable game experience as a freshman last season and is expected to be ready for a more extended role this winter. A natural scorer, Lebron can play either guard position effectively. In addition, incoming freshman Greg Johnson will give Hofstra a natural point guard to use in its rotation, which would allow Stokes to play off the ball a little more and give the Pride a different look. FORWARD One of the Pride s four returning starters is senior forward Aurimas Kieza, who has shown the potential to create tremendous match-up problems. Kieza plays the power forward in Hofstra s system, but took over half his field goal attempts from beyond the three-point line last year (117 of 219). With Kieza playing power forward, Hofstra was able to spread the floor with four shooters and give Stokes and Agudio plenty of room to work with off the dribble. Loren Stokes Guard M E N S B A S K E T B A L L Hofstra also has a couple of newcomers who are capable of playing the power forward position. Chris Gadley, a 6-8 freshman, has tremendous potential in the Hofstra frontcourt. An athletic forward with quick leaping ability (he also played on his high school volleyball team), he will give Hofstra the option of going with a bigger line-up 23

24 Hofstra Basketball Outlook this season. Mike Davis-Sabb, a 6-7, 230-pound forward from All Hallows High School in the Bronx, signed late after a strong finish to his senior season and gives the Pride another strong rebounder to add to its frontcourt. When it utilizes its three-guard alignment, the Pride operates without a true small forward on the floor. However, the Hofstra coaching staff will be able to make that adjustment if needed, thanks to the spring signing of 6-5 Zygis Sestokas, a native of Lithuania who played at Statesville Christian High School in North Carolina. Sestokas averaged 15 points a game as a senior in high school, while shooting 55 percent from three-point territory. CENTER On paper, Hofstra has to replace its starting center in the graduated Wendell Gibson. However, the transition will be made easier, since Gibson missed the first 11 games of last year, allowing Adrian Uter to start in his place. Uter improved rapidly, developing into one of the top shot-blockers in the Colonial Athletic Association (he had nine blocks in 15 minutes in a win over Towson). Uter is also a strong rebounder, leading the nation in junior college as a sophomore in that department. This season, he will be asked to improve his offensive game as well, to help balance the Pride s three-guard attack. Senior Kenny Harris also transferred to the Pride from the junior college ranks last season and will once again help provide some valuable frontcourt depth. Harris minutes declined when Gibson returned from his injury, but with Gibson graduated, his role should increase again. At 6-9 with long arms and a soft shooting touch, Harris could provide Hofstra with a different look at the center position. In addition, Gadley also has the size to slide up to the center spot, if needed. SCHEDULE Adrian Uter Forward/Center The Pride will challenge itself early in the season with back-to-back road games at Big East opponents. After opening the season with a home game against Florida International, Hofstra then faces Notre Dame and St. John s on back-to-back Tuesdays (Nov. 22 and 29). The Pride also hosts a game against an opponent to be determined for Bracket Busters Saturday. The conference schedule will be slightly different this season due to the CAA expanding to 12 teams with the additions of Northeastern and Georgia State. The league will no longer have a double round-robin regular season, but will instead feature an imbalanced schedule with each team playing seven opponents twice, and four opponents once. Hofstra will have a home-and-home series against both conference newcomers, as well as Towson, Drexel, Delaware, UNC Wilmington and defending champion Old Dominion, while facing George Mason, James Madison, William & Mary and Virginia Commonwealth only once apiece.

58 Hofstra Symbols and Heritage The Symbols of Hofstra University The Shield Logo In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age. The new University logo features an H within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry. The Seal The Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: Je maintiendray (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions. The Pride As of July 1, 2005, our athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics. The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides are traits of Hofstra s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off the field. The first consistent use of the word Pride relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion were introduced. Hofstra s Dutch Heritage Ties to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose as a memorial to her husband. The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was Nassau College Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island. When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall. 58 H O F S T R A U N I V E R S I T Y

99 The Colonial Athletic Association Season IN Review Fresh off the celebration of its 20th Anniversary, the Colonial Athletic Association enters its third decade with two new members and an expanded geographic footprint that gives the conference a presence in five of the nation s nine largest metropolitan areas. The addition of Georgia State University in Atlanta and Northeastern University in Boston brings the membership of the CAA to 12 and enhances the league s reputation as one of the nation s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. On the playing field, the CAA has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 11 national coaches of the year, 11 national players of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 16 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In , the CAA had seven CoSIDA Academic All- Americans and more than 1,500 student-athletes posted at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport and received the CAA Commissioner s Academic Award. The landscape of the conference now stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation s top 25 media markets New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (5), Washington, D.C. (8), Atlanta (9) and Baltimore (23). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million. The CAA conducts championships in 21 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. The CAA will also begin sponsorship of a 12- team Division I-AA football league in the fall of In men s basketball, the CAA has earned a reputation as a giant killer in the NCAA Tournament. Since 1981, CAA schools have posted 12 wins over higher-seeded teams. In , the conference had four teams earn post-season berths for the first time in league history and five teams were ranked among the top 100 in the RPI. In women s basketball, the CAA has had two teams earn post-season berths for five consecutive years. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has won the past 14 conference titles, has captured three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and reached the title game again in The conference has also excelled in many other sports. CAA squads have won 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981, which is not only more than any other conference but represents nearly half of all titles won. In baseball, at least two CAA teams have earned NCAA Tournament berths for seven of the past eight seasons. The CAA is annually ranked among the nation s top 10 conferences in men s and women s soccer, and has traditionally sent multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament. In , 24 league teams earned NCAA Tournament berths in 15 sports, with the CAA having multiple representatives in men s and women s soccer, field hockey, men s and women s golf, men s lacrosse and men s tennis. There were 29 CAA student-athletes who earned All-America honors. CAA member institutions are also committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia s most coveted distinction the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. Core members George Mason University, James Madison University, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University and the College of William & Mary were joined by the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, The CAA traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason, James Madison, and William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (UNC Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, By the fall of 1986, the league gained automatic bids to NCAA Championships in men s basketball, soccer, baseball and women s basketball and formed an officials bureau. Old Dominion became a member of the CAA in and Virginia Commonwealth University joined the conference prior to the season. From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAA takes great pride in producing performers who stand out both on the playing field and in the classroom M E N S B A S K E T B A L L 99
