Hofstra beat Delaware twice during the regular season—they opened their CAA schedule on December 28 by routing the Fightin’ Blue Hens 91-46 and closed their campaign with another big win (92-70).
Senior point guard Justin Wright-Foreman has finished as the Pride’s top points scorer in their last eight games, most recently netting 17 in Sunday’s 76-67 win over James Madison.
Semi-final opponents Northeastern sent a message in their quarter-final fixture and thrashed No. 10 UNC Wilmington 80-59. Charleston coach Earl Grant shared the spoils with Northeastern in the regular season as each team won at home, meaning Monday’s location could play a big role in favor of the Cougars.
