WILMINGTON SEAHAWKS VS HOFSTRA PRIDE PICKS AND PREDICTION

The College of Charleston clinched the #1 seed in the AAC Tournament with their recent win over Towson, so now it comes down to Hofstra, Wilmington, and Drexel to decide which program earns the 2-seed.

With only one game remaining for both of these teams after this contest before the AAC Tournament gets underway, it’s all about tonight’s game, and I am sure that the Seahawks are glad to be on their home court for it.

UNC-Wilmington has only played 10 true home games this campaign, and only one team has come into Trask Coliseum and left with a win. Unfortunately, that loss just happened the last time the Hawks played here when Elon took a 73 – 72 win to snap the home win streak for the year at 9.

So, I don’t think I can expect anything less than a high-scoring affair to take place in this contest. I was honestly expecting a 147 on this total, so when Bet365 stamped a 143.5 in my face, I jumped on this as my play for tonight, and make no mistake, my money is on it too!

Hofstra is 7 – 1 over their last 8 games, and a 0ne-point loss to Drexel is all that stands in the way of this being an 8 – 0 run for the Pride. Do you like seeing games with a steady pace of shooting?

Here it comes, because you will see plenty of defense that leads to offensive points tonight. The Seahawks are the #1 team in the Nation causing turnovers, which means we can expect plenty of transition scoring from the home team tonight.

The Seahawks just gave up 105 points in an overtime loss to Campbell on Monday night, and Hofstra has been scoring 80 points lately like it’s easy to do. The Pride are 10 – 2 over their last 12 games as well, and Hofstra scored no less than 77 points seven times.

I know plenty of people will see both teams wanting to play strong defense because second place is on the line, but these teams like to run and shoot. I see this as an 84 – 82 type of game, so 143.5 to me is a walk in the park!

Oh, by the way, did you like my upset special call on Northwestern last night? Good, I am glad, because I am out to make it a 3-game win streak after this total cashes tonight!

The Seahawks rank 284th guarding the 3-point shot, and the Pride rank 10th in the country shooting from behind the arc.

HOFSTRA PRIDE SCHEDULE AND FORM

• The Pride will finish the regular season playing AT the College of Charleston.

The fact that the College of Charleston has already clinched the 1-seed for the AAC Tournament might end up helping the Pride.

Hofstra has won 7 of their last 8 and 10 of their last 12 games. The two losses were by a combined 5 points, which proves the Pride play until the final second like their lives are on the line.
