Florida State men’s basketball continues their home stand against Hofstra tonight at 7 PM at the Tucker Center. Tonight’s game can be found on ACC Extra or streamed on ESPN+. The Seminoles are looking to bounce back after their first defeat of the season at the hands of their rival, the Florida Gators, 87-74. Leonard Hamilton’s team squandered a golden opportunity at a Quad 1 last Friday and now will need to regroup against a stingy Hofstra team that is undefeated this season. ESPN Bet lists the Noles as 8.5-point favorites tonight.
The Pride are 4-0 after winning both games last week, including a road win against Seton Hall. Former NBA champion Speedy Plaxton coaches Hofstra. He led his team to third in the CAA last season but fell in the conference tournament semi-finals. KenPom ranks the Pride 133th in net rating, and their tempo is 323rd, as they play at a snail’s pace. Three of Hofstra’s guards, Jean Aranguren, Cruz Davis, and Jaquan Sanders, currently average 15 or more points per game.
