The Hofstra Pride and No. 21 Duke Blue Devils will meet for the first time. Hofstra
had a five-game winning streak snapped by St. Louis last time out. They are putting up 80.4 points per game this season, on 47.8% shooting from the field and 38.7% from deep . On the defensive end, they are giving up 68.9 points per game and their opponents are shooting 38.9% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range. Tyler Thomas leads the Pride with 23.6 points per game. The Blue Devils snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Charlotte on Saturday. Duke is putting up 80.8 points per game this season, on 47.8% shooting from the field and 35.4% from behind the arc. On the defensive end, they are gigging up 65.9 points per game, and their opponents are shooting 42.4% from the field and 31.1% from deep. Kyle Filipowski leads Duke with 17.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game this season. Hofstra loves to shoot the three-ball, making 11.2 threes each game. That won't be easy to replicate against the Duke defense and playing at Cameron Indoor for the first time. Duke has a huge advantage in the paint and has four guards they can throw at Thomas to slow him down and make it difficult for him to get going. Duke has covered some big spreads this season and were 15-point favorites last time out and easily covered that number. I expect them to cover this number as well.

Play on Duke. This is a 3% play.
