Towson vs. Hofstra Key Player to Watch

  • Cruz Davis, G - Hofstra Pride

Cruz Davis is leading Hofstra in points per game (20.6), assists per game (4.7), and steals (1.1). The offense goes through him, and he's been fantastic this season, specifically from beyond the arc where he's shooting 40.4%. He scored a combined 48 points in his two games against Towson this season.

Towson vs. Hofstra Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm laying the points with Hofstra tonight:

Not only is Hofstra the better team, but this game is a stylistic nightmare for Towson. The Tigers rank inside the top 100 in two-point shot rate, with almost 65% of their shots coming from two-point range, and now they have to face one of the best defensive front courts in the country. Hofstra ranks third in opponent two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting 44.1% from down low.

Add in the fact that Towson is already a horrific shooting team, ranking 343rd in effective field goal percentage, and we have a game that could end up in a blowout in favor of the Pride.

Pick: Hofstra -4 (-110)
