PICK: I’m probably going to stay with Towson here. The Tigers are on a nice run over this seven-game win streak; they’ve hit 69 or more points in each game. Even in their infrequent losses Towson has been close. The Tigers’ last three defeats have each come by five points or fewer.
As for Northeastern, they lost 70-67 the first time these teams met up and won 58-53 in the rematch, so they could make things difficult for Towson. We should have an interesting matchup here, but I like Towson a little better on a potential cover.
