Delaware at Hofstra

Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams, so expect to see strong defense. Delaware will have to lean on defense as the offense averages 64.5 ppg on the road. The game is the second of three in a 91-hour stretch for the Blue Hens, who are back home on Saturday to host James Madison at 12 noon. Delaware is on an 11-5 run UNDER the total. The Blue Hens struggled on offense in last year's conference opener, a 72-53 home loss to Northeastern. Hofstra plays its best defense at home and shut down Delaware at home in last year's meeting, a 71-58 Hofstra victory in Hempstead. And the UNDER is 7-2 when these rivals clash. Play Delaware/Hofstra UNDER the total.
