Pick

Towson finished the regular season tied for 3rd place in the CAA standings, while Delaware four games behind that. Both teams have played well in recent games and both teams won one game against each other in the regular season. Towson is the better defensive team and they are averaging about four more rebounds per game. I like the Tigers here.
