Hofstra vs Monmouth Prediction 

Hofstra comes into this matchup trying to snap their five game losing streak and they will be at home for this contest. The Pride are shooting 42.6% from the field this year and they have scored 60 points or fewer in three of their last five games. Monmouth has won three of their last five games, but they are shooting just 40.7% from the field this season. The Hawks have had some problems on defense this year, as they are allowing 76.5 points against per game, which should help this low scoring Hofstra offense. I don’t really trust either side in this matchup, but I will take the better defensive team at home. Take Hofstra here.

Stony Brook vs Monmouth Prediction

I’m on Monmouth here. I get the case to be made for a home dog in a lot of spots, but the problem for Stony Brook here is that this year’s version of the Seawolves are not the same version that was an ATS machine last season. The Seawolves struggle defensively and while both teams have issues on the offensive end of the floor, I feel like Monmouth’s defense has more upside so I’ll roll with them here. Give me Monmouth laying the points on the road in this one.

The Hawks are allowing over 90 points per game this year and they are shooting just 33.7% from the field. Wichita State has started the season with three wins, but only one has been by more than 16 points. The Shockers have been very strong offensively to start the year and they should have another huge day here. Take Wichita State at home.

Rutgers Recap

Rutgers vs Monmouth Prediction

I’m on Rutgers here. Monmouth just hasn’t looked good at all this season and they’re not a team I’m high on going forward. I’m not always enthusiastic about laying big numbers with Rutgers, but the Scarlet Knights are the better team by a mile here that plays outstanding defense regardless of who is on the other side. I’ll side with Rutgers in this one.

Michigan State Spartans Betting Preview

The Michigan State Spartans went 20-15 last season and they went 10-10 in the Big Ten, which was sixth in the conference. Michigan State had very high expectations for last season that were not fulfilled, but they still made their 26th straight NCAA Tournament. The Spartans opened last season with an overtime loss against James Madison by a score of 79-76, so you know Izzo will have the team focused and ready to go here. Michigan State went on a nice run from mid-January to mid-February, where they went 8-2, but they finished the regular season by losing four of their last five. The Spartans defeated Minnesota in the Big Ten Tournament, but ended up losing to Purdue by five points. In the NCAA Tournament, MSU defeated Mississippi State in a blowout in the first round, but lost to North Carolina by 16 points in the second round. 

Michigan State lost quite a bit of production from last season, as Walker, Hall, Hoggard, and Sissoko are all gone, so Jaden Akins is their leading returning scorer from last year. Akins averaged 10.4 points per game and shot 36% from three. The Spartans will need quite a few guys to step up and replace that production loss, but I am worried about their guard play. I think MSU will be fine down low, as they have plenty of height, but finding a consistent scorer could be a challenge. 

Monmouth Hawks Betting Preview

The Monmouth Hawks were 18-15 last year, going 10-8 in the CAA and finishing in sixth place. Monmouth opened the 23-24 season with a 72-61 loss against George Mason, but they followed that up with a 73-65 win over West Virginia. The Hawks also picked up a non-conference win against Belmont and Northern Illinois, while losing close games against Cornell Seton Hall. Monmouth played pretty well down the stretch of the regular season, as they went 8-5 in their last 13 regular season games. Monmouth won their first game in the CAA Tournament against Campbell by 23 points, but lost to Charleston by a score of 83-59, which ended their season. 

Monmouth lost their best player from last season, as they no longer will have the services of Xander Rice, who scored 20.4 points per game. Jack Collins does return after being the second leading scorer on last year’s team, but he averaged just 10.7 points per game. Jaret Valencia also returns after averaging 8.9 points and 4.4 rebounds last year. 

Why Michigan State will beat Monmouth

• Michigan State has won each of its last 14 day games against non-Conference opponents at Jack Breslin Student Events Center.
• Monmouth has lost each of its last four road games against non-Conference opponents.
• Michigan State has won the first half in each of its last nine day games at Jack Breslin Student Events Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Matchup/League Facts

• Michigan State ranked 15th among Division 1 teams for assist to turnover ratio last season (1.59).
• Michigan State ranked 26th among Division 1 teams for opponent points per game last season (66.1).

Michigan State vs Monmouth Prediction 

Michigan State comes into this season with lower expectations than last year, but they are expected to be in the top third of the conference once again this year. The Spartans did lose their top three leading scorers from last year, so I think it could take some time for them to find a rhythm. Monmouth also lost their leading scorer from last season, which is a huge deal, considering he scored almost twice as many points per game as the second leading scorer. Obviously both teams are going to need players to step up, but I think Michigan State will be very focused in this game after what happened against JMU last year. Take the Spartans to win big.

Monmouth vs Charleston Betting Prediction

Charleston finished the regular season as the #1 seed in the CAA and they only lost three conference games this season. The Cougars have scored at least 87 points in three of their last four games, but they are only shooting 44.3% from the field this year. Monmouth has won three of their last four games, but they lost to Charleston in their first meeting by a score of 94-83. Monmouth has played pretty well over the last couple of months, but they are no match for Charleston. Take the Cougars here.

The Drexel Dragons are allowing 30.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 37.4 rebounds per game.

Monmouth Hawks vs Drexel Dragons prediction

The Drexel Dragons are the better hotter team and being at home doesn’t hurt, and their defense gives them a key edge in this spot. With that said, the Monmouth Hawks have played a lot of close games this season, and it’s led to a 12-4-1 ATS record. Monmouth is one of six teams in college basketball with at least 12 covers this season. It may not be sexy, but I’ll side with Monmouth to keep things close yet again. Give me the points.

Injuries

Neither side has anyone listed on the injury report for this game, so barring any last-minute announcements, both sides will come into this game at full strength.

Matchup History

Monmouth won the last meeting 69-67 back on February 4^th, 2023, splitting the two meetings between the two teams this season.

Trends

Monmouth is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win by 20+ points while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall. Drexel is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games.

Pick

I’m leaning towards Monmouth here. The Hawks have played a lot more respectably down the stretch and managed to exact revenge on Drexel after the 32-point beatdown Drexel handed to Monmouth in the first meeting this season. The Dragons are solid, but they have a tendency to play down to lesser opposition and in a one-bid league like the CAA, it’s win by any means necessary, not worrying about style points. I think Monmouth makes this one ugly and tries to win any way they can so give me Monmouth ATS here.

Odds

Northeastern comes into this game as a 5.5-point home favorite with a ML price of -250. The total for this game is set at 134.5 points.

Injuries

Neither side has anyone listed on the injury report for this game, so barring any last-minute announcements, both sides will come into this game at full strength.

Matchup History

These two teams have not met prior to this matchup on the hardwood.

Trends

Monmouth is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 road games.

Pick

I’m going to back Monmouth and the points here. Northeastern’s been struggling as of late, and while a lot of those games are coming against the top teams in the CAA this season, the reality is that the odd time that the Huskies are favored at home, they’re still not covering. Monmouth’s red hot right now seemingly out of nowhere, and as crazy as it is to say, against teams on the same level as Monmouth, like Northeastern, I’m not trying to step in front of the Hawks right now. Give me Monmouth and the points.

Over on the Monmouth side, they were able to win just one of their first 21 games (December 4 versus Manhattan). The Hawks are 4-1 in their last five however, beating NC A&T, Delaware, Drexel and Stony Brook. 

On Saturday versus Hofstra, the Hawks were drilled 37-16 in the first half. Monmouth was outscored 49-41 in the second and lost 86-57. Andrew Ball was the top team scorer on 11 points and Klemen Vuga added 10 points. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll take a stab on Monmouth here. The Hawks had an abysmal start to the season but they’re looking better over their last five games. The last time these teams met up was back on January 28 in a 79-64 Monmouth win at Corbett Sports Center. The Hawks managed a strong second half in that one with 42 points. NC A&T has been pretty listless over this 1-3 stretch, and they’ve scored 66 or fewer points in all four of those outings. Monmouth should have a good opportunity at a cover (or even a win) in this rematch.

Stony Brook is listed as a 3.5-point home favorite with a ML price of -180. The total for this game is set at 129.5 points.

Injuries

Monmouth come into this game with a clean injury report while Stony Brook hasn’t announced any new injuries coming into this game.

Matchup History

Stony Brook won the most recent meeting between these two teams 67-56 back on January 5^th, 2023.

Trends

Monmouth is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Stony Brook is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss.

Pick

I can’t believe I’m going to say this given what we’ve seen from Monmouth this season, but I’m taking the Hawks and the points here. Stony Brook just hasn’t been playing well wherever they’ve been lately, and Monmouth is finally showing signs of life. Not one I’m rushing to bet, but give me Monmouth here.

Monmouth Hawks

The Hawks have had very little luck this season; it’s been a tough ride. Monmouth’s lone victory came 76-69 over Manhattan on December 4. Since then it’s been a string of 11 straight losses, most recently versus Hampton on Saturday. 

In the matchup versus the Pirates last weekend, the Hawks were down 41-30 going into halftime. Monmouth was outscored 42-36 in the second and lost 83-66. Myles Foster put up 22 points with eight rebounds to lead the team. 

UNC Wilmington Seahawks

Over on the UNC Wilmington side, they started at 13-3 this year with losses to only North Carolina, Oklahoma and UConn. The Seahawks are 3-3 since then with losses to Charleston, William & Mary and Hofstra. 

Back on Saturday versus Stony Brook, UNC Wilmington took a 22-21 edge into the break. The Seahawks posted a 40-30 advantage in the second half and won it 62-51. Maleeck Harden-Hayes led the way on 31 points and seven boards. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stick with UNC Wilmington. The Seahawks struggled a little bit versus Stony Brook in the first half of their last outing, and they haven’t bee terribly sharp over this 3-3 stretch. UNC Wilmington has scored 62 points or fewer in three straight games, so they’ll want to get off to a good start against an overmatched Monmouth team here. UNC Wilmington won 68-55 the last time these teams met up back on December 28, and I don’t think this one will be that much different.

Odds

The Charleston Cougars are massive 21.5-point road favorites while the over/under is set at 142.5 points.

Injuries

Neither side have anyone listed on the injury report coming into this game, so barring any last minute announcements, both sides will be at full strength coming into this game.

Matchup history

These two teams have not met prior to this season.

Trends

Charleston is 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 road games while the under is 13-3 in their last 16 games overall. Monmouth is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 2-14 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall.

Pick

I’m backing Charleston here. Monmouth’s been an absolute disaster this season and they’ve been getting blown out left and right this season. This is a big number to give up anywhere, even with a road team, but we’ve seen nothing from Monmouth against lesser opponents to suggest that they’ll be able to keep themselves in this game. Give me Charleston in a rout.

Monmouth lost eight straight games this year before a win over Manhattan. Since then it’s been losses to Princeton, Syracuse, Charlotte, Yale, UNC Wilmington, Stony Brook, Drexel and Hofstra in succession. 

On Wednesday versus Hofstra, the Hawks took a 36-26 deficit into the break. Monmouth fell further behind on a 41-31 second half and lost 77-57. Tahron Allen led the team on 13 points, and Myles Foster put up 11 points. 

Over on the Towson side, they hit an 8-4 run through their first 12 games, losing to Fairfield, Clemson, Navy and Northern Iowa. The Tigers are 2-3 in their last five games with losses to Bryant, Charleston and Delaware. 

On Wednesday in the Delaware game, the Tigers trailed 39-26 going into the second half. Towson kept the pace from there and lost 72-59. Nicholas Timberlake was the leading team scorer on 13 points with four rebounds. 

PICK: I’ll probably stick with Towson. Also probably not going near it, though; the Tigers have had it rough lately and the line is a little too thick to mess with. Towson has hit the skids over this 2-6 stretch; they’ve failed to hit 70 points in six of their last seven games and looked really out of sync in the Delaware game. The good news is that they’re facing a struggling Monmouth team Saturday. The Hawks have lost by 20 points or more in four of their last six games, so it shouldn’t take much to get a victory. Covering is another story all together, though.

Monmouth posted their lone win 76-69 over Manhattan on December 4; they’ve had zero luck otherwise. Since then the Hawks have lost to Princeton, Syracuse, Charlotte, Yale, UNC Wilmington, Stony Brook and Drexel in succession. 

Matched up against Drexel in their last outing on Saturday, Monmouth was drilled 35-14 in the first half. The Hawks didn’t get much better on a 32-21 second-half run and lost 67-35. Myles Foster led the team on 13 points with nine boards. 

Over on the Hofstra side, they went 6-4 over their first 10 games, losing to Saint Mary’s, Middle Tennessee, George Mason and Purdue. The Pride are 4-3 in their last seven with wins over Old Westbury, Delaware, Hampton and William & Mary. 

Back on Saturday versos William & Mary, the Pride took a 37-31 lead into the second half. Hofstra posted 38 more points from there and won it 75-62. Both Tyler Thomas and Aaron Estrada put up 20 points apiece to lead the way. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Hofstra. The line’s a little too thick to mess with, though. The Pride have had some hiccups here and there this season, however they’re not playing too badly lately. Hofstra has scored 70 or more points in five of their last six games. Considering the fact that Monmouth hasn’t scored more than 56 points in any of their last five games, 70 points will likely be more than sufficient here. The Hawks are really struggling this year and I don’t think the Pride will have too many issues covering if they play to their capabilities.

Monmouth hit a 1-13 skid to open up the season. The losses came versus Seton Hall, Virginia, Illinois, Norfolk state, Colgate, Cornell, Lehigh, Rider, Princeton, Syracuse, Charlotte, Yale and UNC Wilmington. 

On Thursday versus Stony Brook, the Hawks were down 38-26 going into the second half. Monmouth scored 30 more points from there but it wasn’t enough in a 67-56 loss. Andrew Ball led the team on 13 points with nine rebounds. 

Over on the Drexel side, they were 5-5 after 10 games this year, beating Old Dominion, Arcadia, TX-Arlington, Lafayette and La Salle. The Dragons went 3-1 in the next quartet with a lone loss to Seton Hall in that span. 

On Thursday versus Towson, Drexel trailed 30-24 going into the second. The Dragons managed to keep the pace from there in a 64-58 defeat. Mate Okros was tops on 14 points with four rebounds. 

PICK: I’ll probably stay with Drexel here I suppose. Granted, there’s not a lot to get excited about in this matchup but it very well could become a competitive affair. Drexel hasn’t been a great scoring team this year; they’ve hit more than 66 points just once in the last nine outings. Monmouth hasn’t done any better. The Hawks have been at 56 points or below in four straight games. This is probably Drexel’s cover to take if they get off to a good start, but it’s also probably not worth messing with if you’re not a fan of either team.

UNC Wilmington has lost to only North Carolina, Oklahoma and UConn this year. The wins otherwise have come versus Allen, Mount Olive Missouri State, Vermont, North Texas, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, Jacksonville, High Point and Campbell. 

In the game versus Campbell last Wednesday, the Seahawks took a 35-29 deficit into halftime. UNC Wilmington stormed back on a 45-31 run from there and won it 74-66. Maleeck Harden-Hayes was tops in scoring with 22 points and three rebounds. 

Over on the Monmouth side, they’ve got just one win over Manhattan. It’s been losses to Seton Hall, Virginia, Illinois, Norfolk State, Colgate, Cornell, Lehigh, Rider, Princeton, Syracuse, Charlotte and Yale otherwise. 

Back on Thursday versus Yale, Monmouth was drilled in the first half 40-16. The Hawks didn’t get any closer and lost in a blowout 76-44. Myles Foster was the leading team scorer in that one with 17 points and five boards. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with UNC Wilmington. The Seahawks got into a bit of trouble in the first half of their last game versus Campbell, but the good news is that they made some adjustments in the second half and won. After a 1-3 start, UNC Wilmington is riding a nice nine-game win streak. The Seahawks have hit 68 or more points in all but two of those outings and should put up a nice total here as well. As for Monmouth, there’s not a lot to get excited about. The Hawks have a combined 90 points over their last two games and will face an uphill battle in this one.
