Towson vs Nicholls State Prediction
The Towson Tigers and Nicholls Colonels have had ups and downs so far this season, but the one stand-out was the Tigers taking Saint Mary’s down to the wire a couple of weeks ago. The Towson Tigers should be able to control the pace, slow the game down, and have possibly the best player on the floor for this game. The Nicholls Colonels have covered 7 of their last 9 games, but I’d need more points to pull the trigger. I’ll lay the small number with Towson on the road.
