Series History
The Camels are 3-0 all time against the Pride, with all three meetings coming since CU joined the league two seasons ago. Campbell swept the meetings last season thanks to a pair of buzzer beaters on the road for an overtime win, and a big 75-52 win at home.

Last Time Out
Campbell routed Green Bay 102-79 thanks to a 58-point second half to pull away from the Phoenix. Jeremiah Johnson scored a career-high 27 against his former team, while DJ Smith added 20 points on 6-6 from three.

Smith became the first Camel to go 6-6 from downtown since Cory Gensler in 2016, and the 10th player in CAA history to do so.

Scouting The Pride
Hofstra carries a 9-4 record into CAA play with a pair of ACC wins on the resume, winning at both Pitt and Syracuse.

The Pride are led by Cruz Davis, the CAA's leading scorer with 21.2 points per game, having scored 22+ in four of the last five. Victory Onuetu anchors the front court with 8.2 boards per game.

Hofstra is coached by Speedy Claxton in his fifth year at the helm. Hofstra was picked to finish eighth in the CAA preseason poll.
