I’m officially Hofstra men’s basketball newest beat reporter. This is my first time being a beat reporter so I figured I’d ask for some advice. None other than @stephenasmith offered up some great tips. Take a listen:

Thank you! We recognize how lucky we are that we got to make this trip (it just so happens that the team made the NCAA Tournament in my, @DylanBrxtt’s and @_EricLeaf’s senior year)
Our call today is dedicated to you and all past WRHU alumni who didn’t get the chance to be here!

Awesome to see the Alma mater @HofstraMBB today, but also wanted to acknowledge @WRHUSports. These students are the voices of all these teams and deserve this trip. My career doesn’t get started without the people that drive that program (note my fewer grays). Enjoy the ride!

“They made me proud.”
Joe Mihalich didn’t get to experience the NCAA Tournament six years ago with #Hofstra, but this week, he’ll be in Tampa watching his former program.
I caught up with the former coach yesterday: dalydoseofhoops.blogspot.com/2026/03/six-ye… #PrideOfLI

Good afternoon, Hofstra faithful—
You’re almost 24 hours away from seeing your Pride dance for the first time since 2001.
Today’s a media frenzy, but I’ve got you covered with live, all-day coverage of everything Hofstra hoops.

The hoops team isn’t the only Hofstra crew that made the NCAA Tournament. Shout out to the student radio, TV and newspaper crews enjoying the ride. Awesome memories & great experience for them too. @HofstraPride @HofstraU

Huge thanks to @CBranchIV for having me on! I had a great time breaking down Hofstra hoops and diving into Friday’s March Madness matchup.

@DylanBrxtt I can’t believe it’s been a week. Safe to say it’s been one of the crazier last 7 days of our lives

Happy 7 day anniversary, to all who celebrate:

The moment Preston Edmead sent @HofstraMBB to the CAA title game on @WRHUSports:

Pretty cool moment seeing Preston Edmead holding up my article recap of his iconic game-winner against Towson.
We’re all college students experiencing these moments for the first time, so it means a lot to see him pick up a copy and support my writing and @rdcjournalism’s incredible photo. It’s a truly special edition of the @HUChronSports.
Gotta love college. This is what it’s all about.

What Hofstra Women’s Basketball is doing right now DEMANDS your attention.
Just days after the men captured the CAA title, this team has stolen the spotlight, and deservedly so. A 10-seed on the brink of a championship is nothing short of incredible.
If you’re not proud of this team and what Hofstra athletics is accomplishing right now, I don’t know what to tell you.

HOFSTRA MAKES HISTORY...AGAIN! The first No. 10 seed to advance to the #CAAHoops Championship game! 🤯 @MarchMadnessWBB X @HofstraWBB X @HofstraPride

THE PRIDE MAKE HISTORY— AGAIN! Hofstra will face Charleston in the Championship tomorrow!

Hofstra is now CAA champions, but one moment from the run almost got lost in the madness.
Just before the team headed to Washington, D.C., head coach Speedy Claxton quietly reached 100 career wins.
“The beauty of the 100 wins is that he doesn’t care about 100 wins,” DePaoli said. “Winning is a by-product of doing things the right way.”
From first-time head coach to the century mark.

What a beautiful moment @OliviaHillestad was able to capture. This is what it’s all about!
Dylan Brett@DylanBrxtt
Would like to follow this up by saying that this is probably the best picture anyone has ever taken of me. @OliviaHillestad captured the moment (on a film camera!) like no other. Four years of raw emotion pouring out.
