Colonial championship

Chosen

Couple things favor the Seahawks in my opinion. The first game Wilmington I believe was down something like 25 to 7 and came roaring back despite being on the road. The second game Hofstra came back after being down big but Wilmington squandered a seven point lead with two minutes left. Pretty evenly matched teams but Wilmington slightly better. 

Secondly, I am worried Hofstra had their Super Bowl yesterday against William and Mary. Sounds crazy to say that but they obsessed over their loss to William and Mary last year. Possible they come out flat to start the game.

Hofstra has no depth but they really don’t foul much so the only person that probably gets in foul trouble is there center who is a double double machine. The no depth issue probably won’t come into play but is still a risk factor. Hofstra will absolutely lose the turnover battle and Hofstra recently has been very shaky in that department. Seahawks will pounce on that. William and Mary turned them over 17 times yesterday.

A case for Hofstra is they will win the free-throw battle handsomely. Probably will outscore them by 15 to 20 points at the line. Certain players on the Seahawks need to stay out of foul trouble but they do have a propensity for getting themselves in trouble. That’s my big worry in this game and the biggest selling point for Hofstra.

Also, Hofstra will have the best player on the court and if he gets in the zone he could win this game by himself. They need to hold Green to 20 points or less. If he gets 25+ Hofstra probably wins this one.

Overall, I would have set the line at -2 in favor of Wilmington. Should be a great game between the clear top two teams in this league all year.
