ANALYSIS: If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Towson likely fits the bill. They are ranked #294 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 4-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 10) in the Colonial (average ranking 199.9).
Towson has a very sieve-like defense that gives up points way too easily. The team is ranked 346th in efficiency on that end of the court and gives up more than 111 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Towson does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank second from the bottom nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 39.6% of their attempts from afar. Towson also gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 16.41 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (344th nationally). Towson lastly allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 335th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.62 vs. AO.
Even though the team ranks considerably higher in offensive efficiency, Towson isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #213 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Towson needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 321st in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 33.4% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. 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 17.42 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 17th in all of college hoops.
Towson is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 44th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.

When playing teams that do a nice job converting inside the paint, Towson usually performs better than average.
