James Madison at Hofstra

The Pride won 24 games each of the last two seasons and never got an invitation to the big dance. The dance card is empty this season, as the Pride stands at 2-9. The pride just has one scorer and that is Antoine Agudio who scores nearly 27 per game. The problem is he sat out last game with a bad ankle and if he plays today, he certainly won't be 100%. The Pride shoots under 40% and if Agudio is out, even less. The offense is so stagnant they have commited 186 turnovers to just 107 assists. The Dukes meanwhile, can shoot and score, as they are connecting on 48% and scoring over 80 per game. The points are coming from all over the floor, as they have four players averaging 12.5 ppg or more. The Dukes also have four of their top seven players connecting on 81% or higher from the line while Hofstra hits a woeful 66% from the line. We like the Dukes who are 9-3 and confident, to take one on the road vs a Hofstra team that is down this year. With Hofstra getting just 63.8 ppg their last five, we see this one staying UNDER the total as well.
