However, their strong defense, allowing only 64.2 points per game and holding opponents to low shooting percentages, has been a key strength for the team. Despite their defensive prowess, Hofstra will need to improve their offensive performance to secure a victory. Their opponent, Delaware, has had success against Hofstra in their previous matchups.

Hofstra Basketball Primed to Take Advantage of University of Delaware's Weak Defense

Hofstra University's basketball team has faced challenges with their offensive performance, struggling to surpass 70 points in recent games. However, their upcoming match against the University of Delaware provides a promising opportunity, as the Blue Hens have allowed 80 points or more in their last four away games, particularly in CAA matchups. Hofstra's strong defensive record, limiting opponents to fewer than 65 points in all but one of their last five games, positions them well against Delaware. The Pride excel at forcing missed shots and the Blue Hens lack a significant threat in offensive rebounding. With these factors in mind, it is advisable to consider a bet on Hofstra beating the spread in their game this Thursday.
