The 20 wins mark the 25th time in program history that Hofstra has won 20 or more games in a season and the 16th occurrence at the NCAA Division I level. It is also the second consecutive season under Head Coach Speedy Claxton that the Pride has achieved that feat.

The game is just the second-ever between Hofstra and Hampton in the sport of men's basketball as the teams kicked-off the series back on January 5 with a 67-51 Pride victory. Aaron Estrada led Hofstra with 20 points and also added seven rebounds and five assists in that contest. Hofstra and Hampton are two of the four "HUs" at the NCAA Division I level (Harvard and Howard).
