The Hampton Pirates went 17-16 (8-10) last season and finished 9th in the CAA standings. Hampton opened the 2024 season with a 110-53 win over Mid-Atlantic Christian, but lost their first D-1 game of the season by a score of 82-54 against George Washington. The Pirates got off to a slow start last year, going just 3-5 in their first eight games and they really struggled with consistency over the first few months. Hampton did play better down the stretch, as they won six of their last nine games in the regular season.

Hampton scored 72.5 points per game last year, which was ranked 217th, while they allowed 70.0 points against per game, which was ranked 111th. 

This year, Hampton has to replace their top two scorers from last year, which accounted for 27.2 points per game. The Pirates do return their third leading scorer, Daniel Johnson, who averaged 7.6 points per game, but also lost their fourth and fifth leading scorers. Hampton has a lot of work to do to replace that production, so it could be a slow start. 

Milwaukee Panthers Betting Preview

The Milwaukee Panthers were 21-11 (14-6) last year and they finished second in the Horizon League standings. Milwaukee started their season with a 118-62 win over Lakeland, but also lost their first D-1 game by a score of 87-68 against Northern Iowa.

This season, Milwaukee will have to replace their top five scorers from last year, which accounted for roughly 62 points per game.

Hampton vs Milwaukee Prediction 

Milwaukee had a great season last year that ended too early in the conference tournament, but they are expected to be very solid once again this year. The Panthers have to replace a ton of production from that team, but they are at home and should be the much better team. Hampton had a decent season in 2024, but they also have to replace quite a bit. I am excited to see how both of these teams look with all of the new faces, but I will side with Milwaukee on their home court.
