Hofstra ML+125@Evansville
Hofstra+2.5-110@Evansville
At first glance, I was leaning heavily towards Evansville. As everyone knows, home court advantage is BIG in the NIT tourney. That is...unless Disney on Ice has taken over your HomeCourt, and force you to play @PAC gymnasium at the university of Southern Indiana. That's right, Mickey Mouse is kicking Evansvilles' ass right off of their home court, doesn't look good for the purple aces in my opinion.
Especially if you look at each teams home and away records(since this will basically be an away game(away court) for both of them)
Hofstra-Away 10-4Evansville-Away 3-11Add in that Evansville coach stated that with a short preparation time, he was uncertain whether the Aces
would be able to obtain game film of the Pride.
AND that The Pride are led in scoring by 6-foot-3 guard Charles Jenkins, who
averages 22.9 points. Jenkins is the NCAA's active career leading scorer with 2,499 points. He
is the seventh-leading scorer in the nation this season.
also from the courier press: "Brigham Young's Jimmer Fredette, who leads the nation in scoring (27.9)
and ESPN highlights, has 2,501 career points. Jenkins has 2,499 — and
takes seven fewer shots per game.'
Hofstra +2 is a GIFT.
