Hofstra Pride vs Stony Brook Seawolves Odds and Betting Breakdown (NCAA, Mar 1 2026)

Pre-bet checklist

From a betting perspective, the main focus will be on the moneyline, spread, and total points. Hofstra, as the home side, are likely to open as favorites on the moneyline, potentially in the -160 to -230 range, with Stony Brook around +135 to +185 depending on recent form and any injury news. The spread could land in the Hofstra -3.5 to -6.5 window, where the question becomes whether Hofstra’s offense can build separation or if Stony Brook’s perimeter shooting can keep it close.

Additional info

If Hofstra have been pushing pace and playing higher-scoring games in their last five, bookmakers may hang a relatively elevated total points line, for example in the 145.5–151.5 region, with any early movement likely reacting to injury confirmations or sharp opinions on tempo. A slight lean can be made toward Hofstra to win outright if their core rotation is intact and they maintain their typical home scoring output, but volatility in college shooting and turnover rates means that any perceived edge should be treated cautiously.

Before placing a bet, bettors should confirm official starting lineups and any late-breaking injury news, especially for lead ball handlers and primary scorers whose absence can swing both spread and total. It is important to review house rules on overtime for moneyline and total points markets and to confirm how fourth-quarter or second-half markets are settled.
