Stony Brook is Struggling

Stony Brook is struggling heading into this game, and they have lost three games in a row against Monmouth, Northeastern, and NC A&T. On Saturday against NC A&T, they were up 38-33 at halftime and looked in a great place. In the second half, the defense gave up 40 points and lost by a point. CJ Luster II was the top player, putting up 23 points, two rebounds, and two assists. The Seawolves allowed them to shoot 44.8 percent from the field, while Stony Brook shot only 37.7 percent. 

Stony Brook has a 6-22 record overall; away from home, they have gone 3-12. The stats overall haven’t looked impressive for Stony Brook, but the defense will probably be most important in this game. The Seawolves defense is giving up 74.6 points per game, 263rd in all college basketball. Stony Brook is one of the best free throw teams in the country, but they only average 13.39 makes per game. CJ Luster II has been the top player, averaging 16 points while shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 42 percent from deep. 

Hampton is on Fire

Hampton is on fire, and they have won four games in a row over Northeastern, Drexel, Hofstra, and UNC Willmington. In the last match against an impressive Seawolves team, they secured an 83-70 victory. At halftime, they were up 46-23, and in the second half, the offense continued its success on the way to the win. George Beale and Wayne Bistol Jr paced the team, scoring 20 points each. Two games ago against Hofstra, the defense gave up only 16 points in the first half. The defense needs to get out to a fast start again in this game to put the pressure on. 

Hampton sits with a 15-13 record, and they have gone 6-4 at home. Hampton’s defense isn’t elite overall, but the offense has averaged 73.3 points per game. They are shooting 60.79 field goals attempted per game, which is 74th in the league. Noah Farrakhan has been the top player, averaging 13.6 points, shooting 42.4 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from deep. Hampton is dealing with no injury concerns.

Stony Brook vs Hampton Prediction

Stony Brook has won the last three games against Hampton, but that will change in a big way here. Overall, Stony Brook’s offense hasn’t been good, and now they have to go against a Hampton defense that has locked down the last two games in the first half. The difference in this game will be a complete game effort for Hampton. Hampton’s offense averages 73.3 points, and they will go well over their season average against a terrible Stony Brook defense. Hampton will have a big lead at halftime and will hold on for the next 20 minutes. Give me the home squad to win this game and cover the spread.
