Mihalich led the Purple Eagles since 1998 and during that time he won 265 games, earning a pair of NCAA Tournament berths and making three National Invitation Tournament (NIT) appearances. Mihalich was recognized nationally for his strong work with the Purple Eagles, picking up numerous awards for his efforts. Mihalich garnered the 2013 MAAC Coach of the Year Award, and was named the 2013 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) District 1 Coach of the Year. With those two awards, Mihalich has been honored as a coach of the year seven times in his distinguished career. The accolades for the 2012-13 campaign don’t end there, though, as Mihalich was the 2013 Skip Prosser Man of the Year and a finalist for the 2013 Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award. The Skip Prosser Award was established in 2008 to honor those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it as well, while the Hugh Durham Award is given annually to the nation's top mid- major coach. A model of consistency, Mihalich has won at least 17 games 11 times in his 15 seasons at Niagara and led the Purple Eagles to a win in the 2006-07 NCAA Tournament over Florida A&M and the 2003-04 NIT over Troy State. The Purple Eagles advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time under Mihalich in 2005, earning a 14-seed in Niagara’s first tournament appearance in 35 years. The team went 20-10 on its way to its first-ever MAAC Championship and Mihalich was rewarded with conference Coach of the Year accolades. Niagara also earned an NIT bid in 2008-09, finishing the season with a 26-9 record. The win total was the second-most in program history and Mihalich guided the squad to the MAAC title game for the fifth time since 2002. The Purple Eagles were rewarded for their success with their first-ever home NIT game.

Head Coach Joe Mihalich: Joe Mihalich, who guided the Niagara University Men’s Basketball team to five postseason appearances since 2003-04, was named the 12th head coach in the history of the Hofstra University Men’s Basketball program on April 10, 2013.

making three National Invitation Tournament (NIT) appearances. Mihalich was recognized nationally for his strong work with the Purple Eagles, picking up numerous awards for his efforts. Mihalich garnered the 2013 MAAC Coach of the Year Award, and was named the 2013 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) District 1 Coach of the Year. With those two awards, Mihalich has been honored as a coach of the year seven times in his distinguished career.

Series Records: Hofstra and Louisville have met on the hardwood once before as the Cardinals earned a narrow 75-66 victory over the Pride at the Puerto Rico Shootout during the 1997-98 season. It will mark Hofstra’s first game against a ranked opponent since the Pride faced No. 8 North Carolina on November 18, 2010 at the Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Notes and Numbers: The 2013-14 Hofstra Men’s Basketball roster features five returning student-athletes along with nine newcomers. Despite a limited number of players returning from last season, the Pride does have a slew of talent and statistical leaders from 2012-13 on this year’s roster. 57 – Starts Returning From Five Returning Student-Athletes 7.9 – Rebounds Per Game For Stephen Nwaukoni in 2012-13 (ranked first on team) 29 – Total Steals By Jordan Allen in 2012-13 (ranked second on team) 25 – Total Blocked Shots By Moussa Kone in 2012-13 (ranked second on team) 581 – Total Points Returning From 2012-13 (Moussa Kone’s 208 tops among returnees) New vs. Old: Hofstra’s newcomers will be asked to produce in all facets of the game this season as the Pride look to create more depth and options on the offensive and defensive end. This is evident early on as the breakdown of the statistics suggest. Stats From Newcomers in 2013-14 Points: 97 of 164 (59%) Rebounds: 20 of 82 (24%) Assists: 18 of 26 (69%)
