Merrimack College's basketball team, led by head coach Joey Gallo, advances to the NEC Tournament title game after beating Le Moyne. Merrimack will host the game on campus due to an upset, with the event being televised live on ESPN. The game is set for Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Lawler Arena. Meanwhile, Hofstra's basketball team continues its winning streak, with a 34-29 lead before halftime and a 73-58 victory over Delaware in the CAA Tournament. Hofstra is set to face Stony Brook next. Darlinstone Dubar's double-double contributes to Hofstra's success. The team's veteran roster and familiarity with situations help them secure a 14-0 run in the CAA Tournament opener. The upcoming game between Hofstra and Stony Brook is highly anticipated.

Biggest game on campus… Ever. That’s what Merrimack basketball coach Joey Gallo said. And guess what? He’s right. My page one story on Tuesday night’s epic opportunity. https://t.co/XAknHj0JBA

“We’ve seen pretty much everything at this point.” Familiarity with situations and a veteran roster helped @HofstraMBB turn the tables on Delaware with a 7-minute shutout and 14-0 run in its #CAAHoops tournament opener on Sunday: https://t.co/8DWiTPLcip #Hofstra #PrideOfLI https://t.co/LLNY48PwAF
Hofstra gets by Delaware in CAA Tournament thanks to Darlinstone Dubar's double-double | @DenisGorman @HofstraMBB https://t.co/o4WMo3iQad
For the second year in a row, Charleston and Towson will square off in the #CAAHoops tournament semifinals. This time, they’ll lead off. The main event, however, has a distinct Long Island flavor. #Hofstra will meet Stony Brook at 8:30 tomorrow after upending Delaware, 73-58.
The #Hofstra lead is holding at 14 with 7:53 to go, 61-47 the margin. Honestly, the only thing to go wrong for the Pride recently was Dubar missing a shot to Jim Joyce his perfect game. #CAAHoops
Nine straight for #Hofstra, and Martin Ingelsby will talk. The Pride now has a 34-29 advantage with 2:41 left before halftime. Only four players have scored, and the big three has 30 of the 34. #CAAHoops #PrideOfLI
Looking at about a 9:10 tip, give or take, for game #82 and the back half of tonight’s Long Island-induced doubleheader, as @HofstraMBB reprises its longtime rivalry with @DelawareMBB. #Hofstra #CAAHoops https://t.co/yYeYMAw3mP

Just got this quote from Merrimack HC Joey Gallo: “Not only as the head coach, but a proud alum. This is will be the biggest sporting event ever to happen on campus. Perfect timing with the students back from spring break ... We expect Lawler to be rocking!" https://t.co/5EEFd0m5Ca
