MBB: Hofstra Concludes Road Trip At UNCW

2/9/2018 9:59:00 AM

Wilmington, NC - The Hofstra Men's Basketball team will look to conclude an important road trip with another victory as the Pride face UNCW on Saturday. 

Tip-off from Trask Coliseum is slated for 7 p.m. 

There will be Pride Productions live video/audio of the game, as well as live statistics. Links to all three can be found on this page and on the men's basketball schedule page at GoHofstra.com. The game can also be heard in the local Hempstead area on WRHU (88.7 FM). 

Hofstra is 15-10 overall and 8-5 in Colonial Athletic Association play following a 67-48 victory over Elon on Thursday. Led by Eli Pemberton's 27 points and Rokas Gustys' 20 rebounds, Hofstra rallied from a four-point halftime deficit and outscored the Phoenix, 43-20, in the final 20 minutes to capture the win. Hofstra enters Saturday having won three of its last four games. 

UNCW is 7-17 and 4-8 in the league. The Seahawks have been off since February 3 as their game at James Madison on Thursday was postponed due to the Mumps situation in Harrisonburg. UNCW dropped an entertaining 107-100 overtime decision to Northeastern in their most recent contest. 

Saturday's game will be the 39th all-time meeting between Hofstra and UNCW, with the series tied at 19. All of the meetings have occurred since Hofstra joined the CAA beginning with the 2001-02 campaign.  UNCW had won three straight meetings in the series, prior to Hofstra's 96-76 victory in Hempstead on February 1.
