Towson vs Hofstra Predictions
Towson is on the road playing Hofstra at the Mack Sports Complex stadium on Thursday, 2/2/2023 @ 7:00pm EST. Hofstra is the betting favorite opening at -3.5 and the line hasn't moved.
This Thursday night, Towson (16-7 SU, 8-2 CAA) takes on Hofstra (15-8 SU, 8-2 CAA) from Hempstead, New York in the CAA Game of the Night. Should Charleston lose at Drexel on the same night, they could tie 9-1 Charleston for second place in the CAA.
Embark on a streaking adventure!
After beating William & Mary 92-73 on Saturday at home, Towson has won six straight games. The senior forward recorded his second triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists on 11-of-18 shooting. On 9-of-10 shooting, Charles Thompson scored 20 points, dished out four blocks and grabbed six rebounds. It was a season-high 92 points scored for the Tigers as they shot 52% from the field and 10-of-24 (42%) from long distance. On defense, Towson struggled, allowing the Tribe to shoot 49% from the field and 12-of-21 (57%) from beyond the arc.
The biggest win of the season
When Charleston faced Hofstra on Saturday, they were ranked 18th in the country and were 9-0. A mid-major league like the CAA rarely has that kind of success. When Hofstra stepped into TD Arena in South Carolina, the Cougars were a 9-point favorite. In all 40 minutes, Aaron Estrada scored 25 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and dished out six assists to lead the Pride over the Cougars 85-81. Hofstra made 11 of 22 three-pointers, and 50% of their field goals were made as well. Additionally, they limited Charleston to just 16% (5-31) three-point shooting.
The Pride is retaliating in this manner. The first meeting was Estrada's lowest scoring game of the season, a 0-for-10 shooting performance from 3-point range. It is a team that shoots 51% from the field at home, but Hofstra shoots just 33% from the field on the road. Their three-point percentage at home is 41%, while Towson has trouble defending it overall and on the road (35.4%). The intangibles and a strong home crowd will be helpful to the team from Long Island, which is looking to take over the top spot in the CAA.
