Tyler Thomas did his best Charles Jenkins impersonation Saturday night, when he scored 23 points and had nine assists as the Flying Dutchmen outlasted Towson 59-56 in an absolute classic of a throwback CAA rockfight. The Dutchmen, now tied for fifth in the CAA, will look to continue their march toward a potential double bye in the conference tournament tonight, when they begin a three-game road trip by visiting Hampton. Here’s a look back at the win over the Tigers and a look ahead to the Pirates.
THE MOST RECENT GAME SUMMARIZED IN ONE PARAGRAPH
Tyler Thomas finished with 23 points and sank what turned out to be the decisive 3-pointer (though not the Keith Hernandez 3-pointer!) in truly Charles Jenkins-ian fashion with 42 seconds left to help the Dutchmen fend off Towson in a defensive duel. The Dutchmen scored 13 straight points — the first eight by Darlinstone Dubar and the next five by Thomas — to take an early 17-8 lead and begin the back-and-forth with Towson, which scored seven straight points before the Dutchmen answered with the next seven. The Tigers ended the half on a 13-4 run that took 6:58 to tie the score at 28-28 before opening the half with a 10-3 surge that gave them their biggest lead at 38-31 with 15 minutes left. Bryce Washington scored four straight points to begin a 23-7 run for the Dutchmen, who never trailed after Thomas’ 3-pointer put them ahead 43-40 with 11:31 remaining and opened up a 54-45 lead on Thomas’ four-point play with 5:29 left. But Towson scored the next nine points and tied the game on Christian May’s 3-pointer with 3:24 left, after which the teams traded empty possession before Jacco Fritz’s only basket (history!!!) gave the Dutchmen the lead 1:08 later. Charles Thompson missed potential game-tying jumper, Fritz missed a layup and Towson’s Nendah Tarke misfired on a potential go-ahead 3-pointer before Thomas ended 94 seconds of rockfight goodness by sinking a step-back, flat-footed 30-foot 3-pointer. Towson nearly came back in the final eight seconds, when Tomiwa Sulaiman hit a layup off a Thomas turnover and Jaquan Carlos missed the front end of a one-and-one before Sulaiman missed a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining. The nine assists were a career-high for Thomas, who also shared the team lead with seven rebounds. Carlos had eight points and seven rebounds. Dubar finished with 14 points, though he spent a chunk of the first half on the bench and played just 30 minutes. Khalil Farmer had four points in 10 first-half minutes.

WAS THIS A UNICORN SCORE?
YES! Holy crap! Would have thought for sure the Dutchmen racked up at least one 59-56 win in the pre-shot clock days. But while they had 30 victories end within three points of a 59-56 final — including a 61-56 win way back in 1942-43 — they’d never before won 59-56 until now. That’s wild.
This is the Dutchmen’s second straight unicorn score victory and their sixth of the season.
11/6/23: 101-48 over St. Joseph’s (NY)
11/20/23: 102-68 over Buffalo
11/22/23: 97-92 (OT) over High Point
11/30/23: 82-63 over South Florida
2/1/24: 72-71 over Stony Brook
2/3/24: 59-56 over Towson
The Dutchmen recorded 12 unicorn score victories last season after recording 11 unicorn score victories in 2021-22, no unicorn scores in 2020-21, 13 unicorn scores in 2019-20 and 10 unicorn scores in 2018-19. The term unicorn score was coined by Mets superfan, historian and blogger Greg Prince to describe a score by which the Mets had never previously won. You may also know it as a “Scorigami,” a term popularized in the NFL.
WHO HAD THE KEITH HERNANDEZ?
A little bit of history here too! Jacco Fritz put the Dutchmen ahead for good by hitting the layup that put them ahead 56-54 with 2:16 left. It was the only basket of the game for Fritz, who is only the second player in history (or at least since last season) to collect the Keith Hernandez with his only points of the game. German Plotnikov hit the 3-pointer that put the Dutchmen ahead for good in a 77-57 victory over Monmouth on Jan. 11, 2023, though he did that with 7:50 left in the first half.

The Keith Hernandez is bestowed upon the player who scores the points that put the Dutchmen ahead for good in a victory. The stat pays homage to Hernandez, the World Series-winning Cardinals and Mets first baseman who had a record 129 game-winning RBIs when the stat was inexplicably discontinued after the 1988 season.
THE FLYING DUTCHMEN AFTER TWENTY-THREE GAMES
With Saturday’s win, the Dutchmen improved to 13-10. This ties the 2023-24 team for the 34th-best record in school history through 23 games. This is the first time the Dutchmen have opened 13-10 since the pandemic-shortened 2020-21 season — when, of course, they finished with that record — and just the third time overall in school history. That’s pretty quirky! Here is how some notable Hofstra teams have fared through 23 games:
1975-76: 12-11 (loss in 23rd game was the final loss of the regular season)
1976-77: 17-6 (win in 23rd game marked third win of nine-game winning streak that carried Dutchmen into the NCAAs)
1999-2000: 17-6 (loss in 23rd game snapped 10-game winning streak)
2000-01: 19-4 (win in 23rd game marked 11th win in program-record 18-game winning streak)

Some other notable 23-game records:
2021-22: 14-9 (most recent 14-9 start)
2020-21: 13-10 (the Dutchmen’s shortest season — at least in terms of games played — since 1957-58 ends with a 76-58 loss to Elon in the CAA Tournament semifinals)

1957-58: 15-8 (lost season finale)
1955-56: 20-3 (had only back-to-back losses in games 22-23)
1953-54: 14-9 (last loss of season)
1950-51: 13-10 (first 13-10 start and the only one until 2020-21)
Hofstra has never been 23-0, 21-2, 6-17, 4-19, 3-20, 2-21, 1-22 or 0-23 through 23 games.
Eleven seasons were completed in fewer than 23 games:

NUMBER TEN THROUGH NINETY
With Saturday’s win, Speedy Claxton improved to 59-31 (.656) as head coach. That’s tied for the best known winning percentage for a Hofstra coach through his first 90 games at the helm.
Paul Lynner 59-31 (.656, 90th game was the sixth game of his fourth season in 1965-66)
Frank Reilly 59-31 (.656, 90th game was the 19th game of his fourth season in 1950-51)
SPEEDY CLAXTON 59-31 (.656, 90th game was the 23rd game of his third season in 2023-24)
Butch van Breda Kolff I 58-32 (.644, 90th game was the 15th game of his fourth season in 1958-59)
Dick Berg 46-44 (.511, 90th game was the eighth game of his fourth season in 1983-84)
Joe Mihalich 46-44 (.511, 90th game was the 23rd game of his third season in 2015-16)
Butch van Breda Kolff II 44-46 (.489, 90th game was the fifth game of his fourth season in 1991-92)
Mo Cassara 37-53 (.411, 90th game was the 25th game of his third season in 2012-13)
Roger Gaeckler 36-54 (.400, 90th game was the 18th game of his fourth season in 1975-76)
Jay Wright 35-55 (.389, 90th game was the eighth game of his fourth season in 1997-98)
Tom Pecora 34-56 (.378, 90th game was the 29th and final game of his third season in 2003-04)
I believe this is both the first time Speedy Claxton’s been tied for the best-known winning percentage among Hofstra coaches through ‘X’ games as well as the first time there’s been a three-way tie for the top spot. But Butch van Breda Kolff I lurks as a potential member of a four-way tie for no. 1 before clear second and third tiers, the latter of which still has four coaches separated by one win apiece.
The records are incomplete for Jack McDonald’s first stint from 1936 through 1943 as well as the tenure of Jack Smith (1943-46). But not Frank Reilly (1947-55) anymore!
Three coaches had one-season tenures lasting at Hofstra. McDonald went 18-6 in the lone season of his second stint in 1946-47 while Joe Harrington went 14-14 in 1979-80 and Mike Farrelly went 13-10 in 2020-21.
FIT TO BE TIED
The Dutchmen entered the locker room in a tie game for the first time this season last Saturday, when the score was knotted at 30-30. The Dutchmen were 1-2 when tied at the half last season, when they fell to Massachusetts on Dec. 11, 2022 and lost to South Florida on Dec. 19, 2022 before beating UNC Wilmington on Jan. 19, 2023. Wow! Spanning two years! The Dutchmen are 13-10 in games in which they trailed at the half dating back to the 2002-03 season.
A WIN FOR THE FIFTY-SOMETHINGS
Hey, that’s my demo! Eep. Anyway, the Dutchmen won a game in which they scored fewer than 50 points for the first time since way back on Dec. 31, 2016, when they edged Delaware 58-56. That was 149 wins ago! The Dutchmen have won a game in which they scored fewer than 60 points just three times in the last 13-plus seasons since after doing so 17 times from 1993-94 (the start of the Defiantly Dutch era) through the 2009-10 season.
TEAM BARBASOL
Thanks to loyal reader EvanJ for asking about this truly quirky stat: The close shaves continued Saturday for the Dutchmen, when they played their ninth straight game decided by fewer than 10 points. That’s the longest single-season streak of such games since way back in 1985-86, when the Flying Dutchmen — who really were called the Flying Dutchmen back then! — ended the season with nine straight games decided by single digits.
A SECOND-HALF TEAM
The Dutchmen continued, albeit by just a bit, their first half/second half discrepancy Saturday, when they followed up a 28-point first half with a 31-point second half. The Dutchmen are averaging 40 points per second half (920 points overall) as opposed to averaging 34.1 points per first half (784 points overall). I’d have to imagine that’s one of the biggest discrepancies in Division I. (These figures don’t include the nine points the Dutchmen scored in overtime of the 97-92 win over High Point on Nov. 22)
DUBAR HOLDS STEADY
Darlinstone Dubar remained in 31st place on the all-time Hofstra scoring list Saturday, when he finished with 14 points. Dubar has 1,155 points and is five points away from moving past Ted Jackson for 30th place, 30 points away from surpassing Rokas Gustys for 29th place and 32 points shy of leapfrogging the duo of Brian Bernardi and Juan’ya Green.
28t.) Brian Bernardi 1,186
28t.) Juan’ya Green 1,186
29.) Rokas Gustys 1,184
30.) Ted Jackson 1,159
31.) DARLINSTONE DUBAR 1,155
32.) Nathaniel Lester 1,139
33.) Wandy Williams 1,132
34.) Mike Moore 1,128
This marked the first game since Dubar joined the 1,000-point club on Jan. 6 that he didn’t gain at least half a spot on the all-time scoring list.
Jan. 6: 41st place
Jan. 11: tied for 40th place
Jan. 13: 39th place
Jan. 18: 37th place
Jan. 22: 35th place
Jan. 25: 34th place

THOMAS MOVIN’ ON UP
Tyler Thomas, who joined Dubar in the 1,000-point club on Jan. 25, moved up the all-time Hofstra scoring list Thursday, when his2326 points increased his career total to 1,076 points and lifted him past Darius Burton and Derrick Flowers into 37th place. Thomas is 15 points away from moving past Ameen Tanksley for 36th place and 32 points way from surpassing Richie Swartz for 35th place.

HONORS FOR THOMAS
Tyler Thomas, who scored 26 points and hit the game-winning jumper with 0.4 seconds left in last Thursday’s 72-71 victory over Stony Brook before authoring his big performance Saturday night, was named the CAA’s Player of the Week on Monday. It is the second time this season Thomas has been named the CAA’s Player of the Week and the third time he’s earned the honors in his career. Speaking of honors…
HOFSTRA HONORS
…Thomas is the second straight player to earn at least a share of the CAA’s Player of the Week award. Darlinstone Dubar shared the honors with Towson’s Christian May for the week ending Jan. 28. (Our apologies to Darlinstone for forgetting to note this last week) Dubar’s first career award gave Hofstra a whopping 26 players with at least one Player of the Week award dating back to the school’s first season in the CAA in 2001-02. That’s almost surely the most of any CAA school in that span, though I haven’t finished all that research. However, Hofstra has had at least one player earn Player of the Week honors in each of the last 21 seasons dating back to 2003-04, which is easily the longest active streak in the CAA. Another way to put that is that a Hofstra player has earned Player of the Week honors in every single season the school’s been in the CAA EXCEPT 2002-03. Another way to put that: Even the 2012-13 team had an honoree (alas, he is one of The Those Who Shall Not Be Named).
A NICE GAME FOR THOMAS
With his 23 points and nine assists Saturday night, Tyler Thomas accounted for 69.5 percent of the Dutchmen’s total points. That’s the biggest percentage of points accounted for by one Hofstra player in a single game since way back on Dec. 11, 2010, when Charles Jenkins had 32 points and six assists to account for 74.6 percent of the Dutchmen’s points in a 63-59 loss to Florida Atlantic. See? I told you it was a Jenkins-ian effort! That was a whopping 433 games ago!
THOMAS FILLS UP THE STAT SHEET
Tyler Thomas became the first player to collect at least 20 points and nine assists in the same game for the Dutchmen since Desure Buie had 26 points and nine assists in a 97-81 win over James Madison on Feb. 29, 2020. It was the second such game of the season for Buie, who had 27 points and nine assists in a 78-62 win over Delaware seven days earlier. The only other player to have at least 20 points and nine assists in a game for the Dutchmen since 2010-11 (the start of the Play Index Era at College Basketball Reference) is Juan’ya Green who did it six times from 2014-15 through 2015-16.
THOMAS’ TRIPLE CROWN (sorta)
Tyler Thomas led the Dutchmen with 23 points and nine assists Saturday, when he also pulled down seven rebounds, which tied him for the team lead with Jaquan Carlos. It’s the first time Thomas has held at least a share of the team lead in points, rebounds and assists.
NO DOUBTING THOMAS
Tyler Thomas continued his resurgence by scoring 23 points Saturday while going 9-of-17 from the field, including 4-of-8 from 3-point land, Thomas is 12-of-26 from beyond the arc over his last three games after going just 5-of-33 from 3-point land in four games from Jan. 13-25. He has scored in double figures in 46 of his last 48 games and 51 times overall in the last two seasons. The 23-point effort Saturday marked the 16th time this season Thomas has scored at least 20 points and the 28th time he’s done so at Hofstra.
HOW MANY TIMES DID TYLER THOMAS HAVE AN ASSIST SATURDAY?
Niiiiine times. The nine assists for Thomas easily shattered both his previous single-game high at Hofstra and his previous career-high. Thomas had five assists for the Dutchmen against High Point on Nov. 22 and against Campbell on Jan. 13 and collected seven assists against Bryant for Sacred Heart on Dec. 31, 2021.
SEVEN WISHES
Jaquan Carlos pulled down seven rebounds Saturday. It was the second straight game and the third time in the last four games he’s finished with at least seven rebounds, a span in which the Dutchmen are 3-1. Dating back to last season, the Dutchmen are 9-2 when Carlos has at least seven rebounds.
D-STONE DEALING
DArlinstone Dubar played just 30 minutes Saturday — his fewest minutes since the 102-68 rout of Buffalo on Nov. 20 and his third-fewest minutes of the season — but that was more than enough time for him to maintain a pair of impressive streaks. Dubar has scored in double figures in all 2232 games this season — which is his longest single-season stretch of consecutive double-figure efforts — and in 25 straight games overall dating back to the 88-86 overtime win over Rutgers in the first round of the NIT on Mar. 14. The latter streak is the longest by a Hofstra player since Justin Wright-Foreman ended his career by scoring in double figures in a school-record 87 straight games.
GERMAN FOR STARTERS
German Plotnikov finished with just two points, two rebounds and no assists Saturday but the Dutchmen still improved to 5-1 since he joined the starting lineup, Plotnikov is averaging 9,5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 30 minutes per game as a starter after averaging 3.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists over 14 minutes per game in 13 games this season as a reserve.
FARMER AID FOR THE DUTCHMEN
Khalil Farmer played nine minutes in the first half Saturday and scored four points. The points were his first of the CAA season for Farmer, who hadn’t scored since he drained a 3-pointer in the 84-79 loss to St. John’s on Dec. 30. Farmer’s nine minutes accounted for his most playing time since he played 14 minutes in the 73-61 loss to Charleston on Jan. 4. He played just 10 total minutes in the subsequent eight games.
A BIG SATURDAY FOR SUNDAY
Silas Sunday played 15 key minutes Saturday, when he scored two points and had a career-high two blocks. The points were Sunday’s first since he had two points in the 84-79 loss to St. John’s on Dec. 30 while the minutes were his most since he played a season-high 27 minutes in the 71-68 loss to Saint Louis on Dec. 9.
PUTTIN’ ON THE FRITZ
Jacco Fritz made his lone basket count Saturday, when his layup with 2:16 left gave the Dutchmen the lead for good. The two points were the fewest for Fritz since he had two points against in the 71-68 loss to Saint Louis on Dec. 9.
FOUR FOR BRYCE
The Bryce Washington Game didn’t fully activate Saturday, but Washington scored all four of his points to start a key 23-7 second-half run, after which the Dutchmen never trailed again. It was the second straight win in which Washington scored fewer than seven points. He was scoreless in last Thursday’s 72-71 victory over Stony Brook. The Dutchmen are now 3-8 when Washington scores fewer than seven points and 10-2 when he scores at least seven points.

SCOUTING HAMPTON
The Pirates, under 15th-year head coach Edward Joyner Jr., are 5-18 overall and 0-10 in the CAA. Hampton, the first team to open CAA play at 0-10 or worse since Northeastern began 0-11 in 2021-22, snapped a 13-game losing streak Saturday, when the Pirates edged Howard 63-61 in the Legacy Classic.
The Dutchmen and Pirates had one common opponent in non-conference play. The Dutchmen beat Norfolk State 74-58 on Dec. 16 while Hampton fell to the Spartans 75-68 on Nov. 13. In CAA play, both teams have lost to Campbell, Monmouth and Charleston while the Dutchmen beat Delaware and William & Mary, each of whom defeated Hampton.
The Dutchmen, who were picked to finish fourth in the CAA preseason poll, are ranked 148th at KenPom.com. The Pirates, who were picked to finish 13th, are ranked 345th. The Dutchmen have not moved up in the KenPom.com rankings between games since they climbed two spots to no. 117 following a 76-71 win over Delaware on Jan. 6.
According to KenPom.com, the Dutchmen rank eighth in the CAA in offensive efficiency (106.0 points per 100 possessions) and fifth in defensive efficiency (103.9 points per 100 possessions) while averaging 67.2 possessions per 40 minutes, the fifth-most in the league. The Pirates rank 11th in the CAA in offensive efficiency (102.0 points per 100 possessions) and last in defensive efficiency (120.9 points per 100 possessions) while averaging 68.6 possessions per 40 minutes, the second-most in the league.
Sophomore Kyrese Mullen leads the Pirates with 14.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. Graduate student Tedrick Wilcox, who opened his career at Dominican College and played the previous two seasons at St. Francis (NY) before the school dropped sports, is averaging 12.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Junior Jordan Nesbitt, a preseason all-CAA honorable mention selection who opened his career with a season apiece at Memphis and Saint Louis before transferring last season 10.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 15 games after missing the first eight games due to eligibility issues.
KenPom.com predicts a 78-67 win for the Dutchmen. Per the wise guys in Vegas, for entertainment purposes only, the Dutchmen are 12-point favorites. The Dutchmen are 7-15 against the spread this season, including 1-9 in CAA play. Good thing nobody keeps track of standings that way!
ALL-TIME VS. HAMPTON
The Dutchmen are 3-0 all-time against Hampton in a series that began with the Pirates joining the CAA last season. The Dutchmen began their current stretch of five wins in six games by dodging disaster at the Arena on Jan. 18, when they overcame an 18-point first-half deficit to earn an 86-77 win.

Kyrese Mullen keeps getting T’d up against Hofstra bias! (Mullen was whistled for a technical foul in the first game between the teams on Jan. 5, 2023 and drew a technical foul after fouling out at the Arena on Jan. 18)
We were technically an HU before you bias! (Hampton was founded in 1861 but didn’t become a university until 1984, 21 years after Hofstra)
DJ Envy bias! (The Power 105.1 DJ graduated from Hampton)
Bad Boys bias! (I’ve mentioned Rick Mahorn here before but whenever you can reference one of the Detroit Pistons’ bad boys — and a Hartford native! — you do so)
