Ken Pom: Gives us a 61% chance of winning.
GMU - 130
Hofstra - 125
We welcome an old CAA rival back to EBA. The Pride were picked to finish 2nd in the CAA this year behind Towson. Redshirt senior Aaron Estrada was named the CAA Preseason Player of the Year. Darlinstone Dubar was named to the Honorable Mention Team.
Mason is 15-8 against Hofstra all-time.
Hofstra is currently 6-2 on the season. They are 2-0 at home, 2-1 on the road, and 2-1 at neutral sites.
Wins: Princeton (83-77), Iona (83-78), GW (85-80), San Jose St. (85-76), UNC Greensboro (65-53), Quinnipiac (72-70)
Losses: St. Mary’s (76-48), Middle Tennessee (64-54)

Stats: https://gohofstra.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2022/pdf
Hofstra is led by 6’3” Aaron Estrada (20.5 ppg & 5.4 reb). This young man can flat out go off, his season high is 33 against GW. 6’3” Tyler Thomas (12.0 ppg) and 6’8” Darlinstone Dunbar (11.3 ppg & 5.9 reb) are also main contributors. 6’8” Nelson Boachie-Yiadom (4.6 ppg) has started every game for the Pride. 6’0” Jaquan Carlos (7.0 ppg) and 6’4” Bryce Washington ( 2.0 ppg) have also stared for Hofstra. 6’6” German Plotnikov (5.4 ppg), and 6’4” Amar’e Marshall (7.9 ppg) play double digit minutes for Hofstra.
The Pride average 71.9 points per game while giving up 71.8. Hofstra is shooting 46.0% from the floor and 37.8% from 3. Opponents are shooting 44.7% from the field and 35.9% from 3. The Pride have been out rebounded by their opponents by 5.7 boards thus far. They shoot 77.5 % from the charity stripe and have averaged 11.8 turnovers to date.
The game is on MASN2.
My prediction: Captain Obvious reports that if you limit/shut down Estrada your chances of winning increase. That being said I’ve had better luck picking Mason to lose. Hofstra 72 - GMU 71.
