The Tigers posted a convincing home win against Monmouth in their previous action. Towson defeated Hofstra in both meetings last season.
The Hofstra Pride are targeting their sixth conference win of the season. Hofstra is 5-1 in CAA action and has won four in a row propelled by stellar defensive play. They beat Monmouth by 20 points last week and followed with a convincing 86-62 home win against Delaware on Saturday to cover the large 10-point spread. The Pride' only conference blemish was a surprising home defeat against North Carolina AT&T. They have covered the spread in four consecutive bouts.

The senior guard has reached the 20-point mark on nine occasions this season including 20 against William & Mary last week and has delivered an average of 20.9 PPG on 52% shooting.
