James Madison Dukes vs. Hofstra Pride Preview
Tonight in a big Colonial League match up Hofstra (13-6) hosts James Madison (15-5). NCAA lines have Hofstra as a slight 1-point favorite in this game with a total that has yet to be posted.
Both teams played on Saturday with Hofstra beating William & Mary 67-64 and James Madison losing to George Mason 75-73.
These teams have been decent betting ones on the season with James Madison at 10-8 ATS and Hofstra is 9-6 ATS. James Madison has only covered the spread one time in their last 7 games facing Hofstra.
Since the Colonial League is not a major conference the each will likely have to win the conference and/or the conference tournament to get to the Big Dance. Hofstra is tied with Virginia Commonwealth atop the league at 7-1 while James Madison is in 3rd place at 5-3.
James Madison must get a good game from leading scorer and rebounder Denzel Bowles (17.3 ppg 9.3 rpg) and he has been playing well scoring at least 20 ppg and shooting over 50% from the field in his last 3 games. He is the guy the Pride have to worry about, especially on the boards since Hofstra only ranks 259th in the nation in rebounds per game.
Hofstra is led by the backcourt duo of G Charles Jenkins (23.1 ppg) and G Mike Moore (14.7 ppg). Jenkins is shooting over 44% from beyond the 3-point arc and the Dukes cannot let him get open looks from deep.
James Madison is led by their frontcourt and Hofstra is led by their backcourt and the team that can play to their strengths will win this game.
Hofstra will shoot the rock well tonight and while they will not be able to contain Bowles they will win because of their guard play. They will stay in first place with a win and cover the 1-point spread.
Betting Trends
Hofstra is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and has an Over record of 6-2-1 in their last 9 games and James Madison is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games and has an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 games.
Pick: Hofstra -1
