Hartford is 0-5 with losses to Wagner, Campbell, Army, Boston, and Merrimack. They aren’t getting blown out but none of their games have been particularly close.

In his 12th year with the Hawks, John Gallagher (see below) has compiled an impressive record...until this season. Suddenly, the wheels have come off. From 15-8 and his program's first ever NCAA Tourney appearance last March to 0-5 in November is potentially a big fall by Feb. 28.

His team averages 67 ppg on 44% fg shooting, 35% from deep and 67% from the ft line. Sound familiar to anyone?

Hartford is not a good basketball team, averaging a nine point loss in each of their first five contests. Odds are they'll pick up their first win soon. Our guys, who have lost three of their last four games to decent D-I teams, simply can't embarrass themselves in front of their fans at HCC on Monday.


*Led program to first-ever America East Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance (2020-21)
*Posted highest winning percentage in program history (.625) with a 15-8 record (2020-21)
*Guided Hartford to back-to-back America East Championship title game appearances for first time in program history (2019-20, 2020-21)
*Coming off most successful four-year run in Hartford’s DI history (2017-21), totaling 70 wins
*Four consecutive top-four finishes in the America East (2017-21)
America East co-Coach of the Year (2017-18)

Yikes! I didn't watch any of the holiday tournament on FloHoops so I missed where that injury happened. Hopefully it's just a bad sprain and nothing is broken.
