Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra men's basketball team will begin a quick two-game road trip on Thursday when it travels to North Carolina A&T for a CAA contest.
Tip-off from the Corbett Sports Center is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The game will air on FloCollege and WRHU will have an audio-only broadcast available on 88.7 FM and WRHU.org. Links to both, as well as the live statistics, can be found on this page and on the men's basketball schedule on GoHofstra.com.
Hofstra dropped a narrow 89-85 decision to Elon last Saturday. The Pride got a trio of outstanding performances in the contest as
Cruz Davis had 33 points, including 28 in the second half,
Joshua DeCady added a career-best 21 points, and
Silas Sunday chipped in with eight points, a career-high 15 rebounds, and three blocked shots. Hofstra will bring a 13-6 overall record and a CAA mark of 4-2 into Thursday's encounter.
North Carolina A&T is 7-10 overall and 0-6 in CAA action following an 82-61 loss to Hampton on Monday evening. Dwayne Pierce had 16 points for the Aggies, while Trent Middleton Jr. added 14.
Thursday will be the sixth all-time meeting between Hofstra and North Carolina A&T. The Pride leads the series, 4-1, and won both meetings a season ago. Four of the five all-time meetings have occurred since the programs became conference rivals.
