Norfolk State vs Towson Prediction
I’ll stick with Towson, but you could make an argument either way. The Tigers cruised right past an overmatched Wilson College in their latest outing, posting 52 percent shooting with 23 team assist, 46 rebounds and a 50-20 advantage on points in the paint. The four missed free throws out of 13 attempts (69.2 percent) were just about the only (minor) area to complain about. Towson has won two of three games now, with the only defeat being against a stellar Houston team. That said, the Tigers have been below 68 points in two of three games total this year. I’d like to see them hit the 70-point mark again in this one.
As for Norfolk State, they shot fairly poorly (37.5 percent) from the field in their loss to Old Dominion. The Spartans did well up front though, posting an advantage on the boards and in the paint. Norfolk State’s offense needs a shot in the arm, as they’re capable of much better.
