Hofstra -9.5 over Manhattan *****
Think this line is way off..Pride has 2 gds that could be the best 2-gd tandem in the conf.. Buie is 5'11 and can score and pass and penetrate. Was also the Col def POY, Eli Pem is one of the top scoring gds in Col conf and Coburn although a gd can score and rebound...all 3 of these guys hit over 45 3's last yr..they played a 2-3 defense yet will adjust Milalich is an old MAAC coach who went up against Manhattan for many years. they are a gd orientated team with the gds doing a lot of the rebounding..Hof will have problems down the rd with big front lines players..but Manhattan doesn't have that..they have 4 players all avg under 10 pts..they can't shoot from the outside and Paulicapp there best player is still in a funk..think Hof wins this by +20..last yr they beat them in Manhattan 80-50.. Buie avgs 6 assists and in last 4 games he has 13,20,17,19,21 pts along with 6,5,7,6, and 5 assists..he sets up Eli who could be the best player in the Colonial conf..
