Towson vs Hofstra Betting Prediction
Both of these teams have played very well in recent games, but Towson is 7-2 in conference play and they have won five games in a row. The Tigers are only shooting 41.9% from the field, but they play great defense, allowing just 64.5 points against per game. Hofstra will be at home for this game and they are the better defensive team, but they are allowing 71.2 points against per game on defense. This should be a very good game between two solid teams, but I like Hofstra and their offense at home.
