Northeastern vs Towson Prediction 

Northeastern comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games and they had a ton of issues offensively in their last game against Hofstra. The Huskies have scored 60 points or fewer in two of their last three games, but they are shooting nearly 45% from the field. Towson has won two of their last three games and they are trying to get the season back on track after a six-game losing streak. The Tigers are shooting just 39.3% from the field and they are averaging 65.3 points per game. Towson will have the home-court advantage in this matchup, but with both offenses struggling to score, I think we are going to see a lower-scoring game. Take the under in this contest.
