HOME TEAM IN CAPS
Hofstra +4½ over DREXEL
If you dig deep enough you can usually find some pretty sweet lines when you step out of the big conferences and this one looks to be as sweet as any. These two met just 11 days ago in New York and the Dragons pulled the upset as a five-point dog. Now they’re a 4½-point choice or a 9½-point swing from that game that the Pride hosted. That in itself is a bit ludicrous, as the Dragons are a bad college basketball team and laying points with tomato cans is almost always bad strategy. The Dragons are 2-3 in the conference after a 53-50 win at Georgia State on Saturday and that score should be a huge concern. Two games ago the Dragons scored just 46 on VCU in a 29-point loss and the inability to score points makes this host very beatable indeed. The Dragons are weak just about everywhere. They are dreadful shooters, they have no bench and they usually lose the battle for every loose ball on the court. Meanwhile, the Pride’s record is 10-6 and 2-3 in the conference also. However, they went into VCU on Saturday and lost by just eight. Last year’s CAA rookie of the year Charles Jenkins is having an even better year this season. There is decent depth along the frontcourt, thanks to seniors Darren Townes and Dane Johnson. Johnson is also a great shot-blocker, as his 64 last season will attest to and every lousy shot the Dragons take will be contested. Losing to Drexel at home is bad enough, losing to them twice in 11 days is rather embarrassing and although I’m taking the points, I’m calling the Pride outright. The Pride are rebuilding, yes, but they’re such a better program, they’re well-coached and they’ll be hungry to avenge that defeat 11 days ago. Play: #731 Hofstra +4½ (Risking 2.18 units to win 2).
