Drexel vs Towson Prediction 

Towson comes into this matchup after being the best team in the CAA during the regular season, but Vegas thinks they are in for a tough game here. The Tigers have won 15 of their last 16 games, but they are shooting just 41.9% from the field this year. Drexel has won five games in a row and they are playing some of their best basketball of the season. The Dragons are shooting 45.5% from the field this season and they erupted for 91 points on Saturday afternoon. Towson won both regular season meetings by scores of 93-82 and 55-54, but both of those came a while ago. Both of these teams are playing very well right now, but Towson was dominant in the regular season and I think they will be able to cover this small number. Take the Tigers here.
