Towson vs Hofstra Prediction

I’m leaning towards Towson here. This looks like a completely different Towson team from the one I’ve become accustomed to seeing over the course of the season, as Towson got off to a really poor start but has apparently turned it around since the beginning of conference play. I think the Tigers could start looking like the team that’s been the class of the CAA for the last couple of years and unfortunately do it at Hofstra’s expense here. Give me the Tigers in this one.
