Towson vs Northeastern Prediction
Towson comes into this matchup with a 6-1 conference record, which is good for second in the CAA standings, but they will be on the road for this game. The Tigers are shooting just 40.4% from the field, but they have scored at least 80 points in three of their last four games. Towson has played some very solid defense this season and they have allowed 67 points or fewer in three straight games. Northeastern has lost three of their last five games, but all three of those losses were on the road, including an 80-73 loss at Towson.
