Senior big man Hunter Sabety is 8th in the league in blocks per game off the bench (0.8), Grad transfer Joel Angus III provides decent scoring and rebounding (5.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg), and freshman guard Jalen Ray is an additional perimeter threat. 10 different players on Hofstra's squad have averaged 10 minutes per game or more.

The season statistics don't tell the whole story. Angus III (17 starts) lost his starting spot to Trueheart (5 starts). Kenny Wormley (13 starts) lost his starting spot to Buie (9 starts). Angus III averaged 8.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in his first 9 games and has averaged 2.5 points and 2.3 rebounds since. Wormley has 30 assists in 11 out of conference games and 4 assists in 11 CAA games. Trueheart averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in his first 13 games and 6.2 points and 4.7 rebounds since. In Hofstra's first 4 games, Trueheart played 5 minutes combined with no points and 1 rebound. He went from rarely playing to being a starter. Buie scored 12 in his first game, averaged 2.0 in his next 8 games, and has averaged 6.3 since.

Angus III and Wormley are injured, but I have no idea if they will play. Angus III missed the last 2 games and Wormley got hurt in 3 minutes last game.

Hofstra is having a throwback night and calling themselves "Hofstra College Flying Dutchmen."
