MBB: Hofstra Begins Three-Game Road Swing At Monmouth

Hempstead, NY – The Hofstra Men's Basketball team will begin an important three-game road swing on Wednesday when it travels to Monmouth. 

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. from the OceanFirst Bank Center. 

There will be ESPN3 live video, Pride Productions live audio and live statistics of the game. Links to all can be found on this page or on the men's basketball schedule page at GoHofstra.com. 

The game against the Hawks starts a three-game stretch for the Pride that will see Hofstra travel to Monmouth, Rider (December 9) and Stony Brook (December 12). 

Hofstra (4-3) is coming off a dominating 107-72 victory over Molloy on November 30 as junior Justin Wright-Foreman scored a game-high 23 points and senior Rokas Gustys posted 14 points and 15 rebounds for his 38th career double-double. The 107 points were the most by a Hofstra team since scoring 118 against Wagner on January 28, 1972.

Monmouth most recently dropped a narrow 84-81 overtime decision at Connecticut on Saturday to fall to 3-5 this season. The Hawks last win was over Albany on November 27 and prior to that they played an incredible four overtime contest against Penn on November 25, a 101-96 loss. 

Hofstra is 1-6 all-time against Monmouth. The teams first met in the 1983-84 season with Hofstra capturing a 77-43 victory. The Hawks have won the last six meetings, though, including a narrow 88-84 victory to open the 2013-14 season, Joe Mihalich's first game as the head coach at Hofstra.
