The Hofstra Pride will look to build on their 77-71 win over Monmouth last time out. Zach Cooks leads the Pride in scoring with 17.4 PPG while Jalen Ray has 15 PPG this season. Darlinstone Dubar has 13.5 PPG with a team-high 5.9 RPG to lead Hofstra on the glass while Aaron Estrada has 13.4 PPG with 5.6 RPG and a team-high 5.1 APG to lead Hofstra in the assist department this season. Omar Silverio has 12 PPG as well to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Hofstra so far this season. As a team, Hofstra is averaging 80.1 PPG on 47.5% shooting from the field, 36% from three and 76.8% from the foul line while allowing 72.2 PPG on 43.6% shooting from the field and 35.5% from three this season.
The William & Mary Tribe will try to bounce back from an 88-66 loss to Valparaiso last time out. Connor Kochera leads the Tribe in scoring with 11.8 PPG with 5.2 RPG while Ben Wight has 11.2 PPG with a team-high 6 RPG to lead the Tribe on the glass this year. Quinn Blair has 10.1 PPG to make up the rest of the group of double-digit scorers for William & Mary this season while Tyler Rice has a team-high 3.8 APG as well this season. As a team, William & Mary is averaging 61.4 PPG on 39.9% shooting from the field, 39.9% shooting from the field and 28.7% from three and 65.9% from the foul line while allowing 73 PPG on 47.9% shooting from the field and 35.5% from three this season.
Hofstra is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record. 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
I can make a case for a home dog in most spots and Hofstra isn’t the first team I think of when it comes to laying double digits. However, William & Mary has been an ATS whipping boy this season and I look for this game to be no different.
