PICK: I might try Hofstra in this one. The Pride looked pretty decent in the Saturday win over UNC Greensboro, shooting 44.7 percent from the field with 35 rebounds and 10 team assists. It was a nice bounce-back effort after putting up just 102 combined points in their previous two games. Hofstra is capable of more, though; the Pride hit 83 or more points in each of their first four games this year.
As for Quinnipiac, they shot 40.3 percent from the floor with 47 rebounds during the Montana State game. The Bobcats have scored pretty well overall this year with 67 or more in six of seven outings. This should be an interesting matchup, but I think Hofstra can eke out a cover/win.
