Both teams are 3-0, but the Pride have the more established program and the more talented team. Two of Hofstra's three wins have come against teams rated in the KenPom top 135, including a win over a Rick Pitino led Iona team. The Spartans' wins have come against No. 239 Georgia Southern, No. 350 Alabama State, and Bethesda, a 0-8 team competing in theNational Christian Collegiate Athletic Association.

Hofstra is 40th in the nation shooting 51.6% from the floor, and fourth in the nation knocking down 48.6% from three. San Jose State is shooting a solid 46.8% from the floor but are just 271st making 29.4% of their threes against weaker competition. Hofstra is also superior at the free-throw line making 72.2% against 59.2% for the Spartans. The home-court advantage won't be enough for a San Jose State squad that is just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games. Take Hofstra.
