ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Towson is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Haslametrics has them ranked 188th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 18-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 10) in the Colonial (average ranking 201.2).

Offensively, Towson finds itself in the lower half of the rankings. The team is rated 185th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 102 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Towson isn't performing well from the free throw line this season. Converting just 68.6% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #287 overall in free throw percentage. If Towson does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 18.77 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 24th in all of college hoops.

Towson doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #182 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Towson has some difficulty staying out of foul trouble, leading to an excess of free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.62 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #296 in the country in that category.

Towson has been playing some of their worst basketball of the season as of late, and they're presently ranked 337th in positive momentum because of it. On the road, Towson performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 27th in our away-from-home metric.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:

When facing teams that do not defend well on the perimeter, Towson often performs worse than normal. Towson is more efficient than usual 30% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.97%. In their other contests, Towson performs better than the norm 70% of the time.

Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 64% of the time.
