Hofstra vs Towson Prediction 

Towson comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they have started conference play with a 3-1 record. The Tigers are only shooting 40.6% from the field this season, but they have scored 80+ points in two straight games. Hofstra is starting to build some momentum, as they have won two of their last three games, but they are shooting just 42.2% from the field this year. The Pride have played very strong defense and they are allowing just 64.4 points per game on the season. We saw the Hofstra defense really clamp down in their last road game against Northeastern and I think we could see that again here. Take the under in this contest.
