What to Know

South Florida has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Thursday. They will take on the Hofstra Pride at 7:00 p.m. ET at Mack Sports Complex. Coming off a loss in a game South Florida was expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

It's hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 32.9% worse than the opposition, a fact South Florida found out the hard way last Wednesday. They took a 70-59 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Black Bears.

Kasean Pryor put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds. Less helpful for South Florida was Kobe Knox's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

Meanwhile, Hofstra waltzed into last Wednesday's game with two straight wins but they left with three. They walked away with a 97-92 victory over the Panthers. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

The Bulls' victory bumped their season record to 2-2 while the Black Bears' defeat dropped theirs to 4-3.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: South Florida have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.5 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Hofstra struggles in that department as they've been even better at 36.8 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

South Florida beat Hofstra 77-70 when the teams last played back in December of 2022. The rematch might be a little tougher for South Florida since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
