Hofstra will not be a cake walk. I disagreed. Right now they are up 9 against Pitt. at Pitt

They have really good guards and some decent size for a CAA team

There are about 50 people at that game, but yeah Hofstra is shooting it well.

Pitt is headed the wrong direction at the moment but Hofstra is also a sneaky good team a bit like Monmouth. Put Kingz on Cruz Davis for most of the game and Hofstra is going to struggle.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Hofstra’s pretty good. They play good pressure defense and their defense is good. Will not be an easy game.

 

[Blanko97]

There’s only like 10 people in the crowd so I’m not sure it’s much of a home court advantage

Speedy Claxton is the best coach in the conference and should be at the P4 level. There’s a reason Carlos looked good playing for him

Wont be easy but pitt is terrible

 

[Orangezoo]

Hofstra winning this game ensures even more so we are prepared and take them seriously. Also since Pitt is already crapping the bed maybe it makes it better for our non conference slate if we can beat the Pride handily.

 

[Starman]

If Hofstra keeps it up, they'll beat a P5 soon

Still the best Catwoman.

Well, they did lose to Iona, Temple, UCF and Columbia so maybe this tells more about Pitt.

I was a student when he was playing there, so much fun to watch, and a really good guy. Met him quite a few times.

I don’t get the connection but am happy to share a Julie Newmar GIF. Not my era but she looks talented!

Not sure if Hofstra is good (they’re probably decent), but Pitt sure looks bad this year. Losses to Hofstra, Quinnipiac and got blown out by WVU. There may be a hot seat for Capel.

Hofstra is #118 in KP. I know nothing about them, but based on that number its not a gimme game.

There is a reason that P5 teams tend to avoid Q3 level teams in OOC play. They are hard to control from a margin perspective (not easy to run up score), and more importantly they have some bad loss risk.

So, I love all things 1960s Batman TV and film, and Adam West in the movie's DVD commentary has a hilarious line where he says something like "There's a curious sensation in my utility belt when you're around, Catwoman." I think he says it during this scene maybe. Could be wrong, that gif might be from the show and not the movie.

Anyway, it's his typical perfect line delivery.

Between Julie Newmar's Catwoman and Yvonne Craig's Batgirl that show cast some people that were definitely not ugly. Plus I think in general a lot of the style from the 60s looked flattering on people. It's well before my time and obviously nostalgia gets romanticized but I think they got a lot right fashion wise that decade.

She played the Devil in the Twilight Zone episode “Of Late I Think of Cliffordsville”. It’s one of the weaker episodes - the makeup on Albert Salmi was awful, and he was miscast in this one. The only saving grace was Newmar’s memorable portrayal of the Devil. Very talented actress, roles like the Devil and Catwoman with mischievousness but not malevolent she excelled at.

But I also have no idea how Julie Newmar became a topic in this discussion.
