Our model has Hofstra winning by double digits. KenPom has them about evenly ranked but ESPN BPI has Hofstra about 50 spots higher and Massey nearly 75. Hofstra won last season's meeting in New Rochelle 62-57 and has won four of the last seven in the rivalry. The Pride have won nine straight at home and 24 of their 28 games at the Mack. Under Coach Speedy Claxton, Hofstra is 40-6 when holding teams under 70 points and I certainly think that's possible tonight as Iona has a whopping 16 newcomers. One of the players Iona lost from last season was Jean Aranguren, who led Hofstra with 25 points in the season-opening win.
