Northeastern vs Hofstra Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup after alternating wins and losses in their last five games, but Hofstra will have the home-court advantage here. Hofstra is shooting 43.4% from the field this year and they were held to just 52 points in their last game. The Pride haven’t been great offensively so far this year, but their defense is holding teams to just 65 points per game. Northeastern is shooting 45.5% from the field, but they were held to 60 points in their last game. Both teams will be looking for a better offensive effort in this game, but I think the low scoring will continue and I like the under here.
