I couldn’t help but to laugh at the irony. Last night, I found myself sitting in the fourth row of a USAirways flight leaving Syracuse, home of the nation’s top ranked college basketball team.

It’s been a rough two weeks for Hofstra. Mo Cassara’s Pride made a Thanksgiving weekend trip to Rhode Island, where they accomplished an interesting feat on back-to-back nights.
