Hempstead, NY – The Hofstra Men's Basketball team will head south to take on Charleston on Saturday afternoon. 

Tip-off from TD Arena is scheduled for 4 p.m. 

This will mark the second of Hofstra's three trips to Charleston this season as the Pride took part in the Gildan Charleston Classic earlier this season and the conference tournament will take place in North Charleston in March. 

The game, which will air on SportsLive as the CAA Game of the Week, will feature two of the top teams in the Colonial Athletic Association as Hofstra is tied for first, while the Cougars are one game back of the top spot. 

There will be live video, via SportsLive, as well as Pride Productions live audio available for this game. Links to both, as well as the live statistics can be found on this page and on the men's basketball schedule page at GoHofstra.com.
