Hofstra fans are proud of their team's successful March Madness run, despite a 90-70 loss to Alabama. The team's efforts were met with mixed reviews, with season ticket holder Al Arthur expressing pride and admiration for head coach Speedy Claxton. Fans also learned that freshman phenom Preston Edmead, whose 24 points were the most scored by a Hofstra player in March Madness since the 1970s, plans to return next season. The victory for the team was witnessed at Northport's Birdie Bar, where owner Louie Selvaggio is a friend of Claxton and assistant coach Jay Hernandez.
