ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Towson is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. They are ranked #138 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 19-13. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the Colonial (average ranking 200.8).

The primary strength for Towson this year is offense. The team is ranked 98th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 102 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Towson appears to be one of the top-notch offensive rebounding teams you will find this year. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 17.36 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 16th in the NCAA), and they convert 6.9% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 29th) as well. Towson is also deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 77.6% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 17th nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-75 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 28.58 vs. AO.

The defense for Towson, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 207th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 101 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Towson struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 308th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.23 vs. AO.

Towson has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 310th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
