William & Mary vs Hampton Predictions
William & Mary is on the road playing Hampton at the Hampton Convocation Center stadium on Thursday, 2/2/2023 @ 7:00pm EST. William & Mary is the betting favorite opening at -1 and the line hasn't moved.
William & Mary (9-14 SU, 4-6 CAA) travels about half an hour to Virginia on Thursday night to face Hampton (5-17 SU, 2-8 CAA). As an 8-point favorite, the Tribe defeated the Pirates 81-65 on Jan. 11. After being in different conferences since 2015, Hampton moved to the CAA this year.
The tribe continues to face road problems
Having beaten Stony Brook at home 77-74 on Jan. 26, William & Mary traveled to Towson, Maryland last Saturday. It followed their 69-67 road win over UNCW on Jan. 14, which snapped a three-game losing streak. They earned their first and only road victory of the season with that win over the Seahawks. Despite scoring 40 points in the first half against Towson, William & Mary could not slow down the Tigers' offense in their 92-73 loss. The Tribe's Anders Nelson scored 22 points on 7-of-8 shooting (5-of-6 from 3-point range). The team was missing power forward Noah Collier (6-8, 220), a Pitt transfer who averaged 9.7 points and led the team with 8.7 rebounds.
CAA pirates are making waves
In their first season in the CAA, Hampton started out 0-7 before beating Monmouth 83-66 on Jan. 11 and then upset Delaware 67-66 at home on Jan. 26 as a 10-point favorite. As a 1-point underdog, they lost 71-66 to another newly formed CAA team in Stony Brook last Saturday. Frankie Policelli scored a career-high 34 points for the Seawolves, including 31 in the second half, which was the bottom line for Hampton. A 21-point and 12-rebound performance was led by Kyrese Mullen for the Pirates. Jordan Nesbitt added 17 points, eight rebounds, and five assists for Hampton, which shot only 35% from the field.
In spite of the concern that Collier won't play, Hampton's poor shooting warrants more attention. It looks like they are better at home (37%, 29.6% 3pt) than they are away from home (37%, 29.6% 3pt). On the road, William & Mary shoots 48.1% from the field and 37.1% from three-point range. I'm concerned about Hampton's ability to defend the three. They haven't shown that propensity at home or on the road. A 59% field-goal percentage was achieved by W&M against the Pirates in the first meeting.
