An automatic bid will be on the line tonight as the Monmouth Hawks take on the Hofstra Pride in the finals of the Colonial Athletic Association Championship.
These teams are both coming in hot tonight, but the Pride have been the better team and I’m taking them to cover in my Monmouth vs. Hofstra predictions below.
Keep reading for a full breakdown of tonight’s title clash in my free college basketball picks for Tuesday, March 10.
Monmouth vs Hofstra prediction
Monmouth vs Hofstra best bet
Monmouth vs Hofstra best bet: Hofstra -4.5 (-110)
The Monmouth Hawks come into tonight’s game having won five straight games, while the Hofstra Pride have won six in a row.
But Hofstra is clearly the team to beat tonight, and not just because they’ve already beaten Monmouth twice this year.
Hofstra has an elite scorer in Cruz Davis (20.5 ppg) who can take over games. Not only does Monmouth lack that scoring punch, but the Pride are simply better on both sides of the ball, with KenPom.com rating them in the top 100 nationally both offensively and defensively.
With a small spread, I’m taking Hofstra to cover.

I’ll take Hofstra guard German Plotnikov (9.3 ppg) to hit his points Over, as he’s stepped up to score 15+ points in three of his last five games.
Along with Plotnikov’s points total, I also like Cruz Davis to dish out with him averaging 4.6 assists per game this season.
