Things are heating up in the CAA Conference Tournament as Hofstra battles William & Mary in the semifinals on Sunday.

The Tribe (19-11, 12-6) enter this one as the favorite after sweeping the regular-season series against Hofstra but the Pride (20-12, 10-8) only lost by two the last time these teams played on Feb. 22.

William & Mary will rely on the scoring prowess of senior guard Marcus Thornton to lead its offense, which is ranked fifth in the NCAA in field-goal percentage this season. Hofstra will counter with the tandem of Juan’ya Green and Ameen Tanksley, as they each average 16 points per game on the year.

You can see who advances to the CAA finals on NBCSN at 2:30 p.m. EST.
