It was almost the same score as last season (Dons won by 11). Towson fought hard late to stay in this game to cut the lead to three, but had some poor offensive possessions. The Dons were a bit sloppy in the second half, but they were ultimately too good. Terry Nolan Jr. led the way with 15 points, while Nicholas Timberlake added 14. Cam Holden had 12 points and nine boards, but went just 3-of-10 from the field and committed five turnovers. Despite playing against as big a team as they'll see all season, the Tigers outrebounded the Dons by one. Ultimately, shooting 38% from the field is not going to get it done against a quality team.

Towson played without Juwan Gray, Jason Gibson, and Antonio Rizzuto who should be back next Thursday against LIU, but won't play on Friday night against New Mexico in the consolation game at 9pmET.

Here are some Skerry quotes after the game

"USF is very good. Boyea is great. Credit to Todd and his guys. They made timely shots. Couldn't stop them enough. Some of that is due to our inability to score the ball. We didn't shoot the ball well at the rim. Thought the offense moved in the second half. Moved the ball better. Liked the effort. No moral victories. Need all our main guys to play well to beat a team like that.


Terry did a good job getting to the foul line. Chase is playing better and better. Really happy with Radhir Hicks. They make timely shots. Eventually, we're going to be a pretty good shooting team. That's the least amount of 3s we've taken. Part of that is our personnel. All these teams are good. Helps prepare you for this league. San Francisco is good. They're big. Point guard is really good. He just has a feel. We got down to 3 and couldn't get over the hump."

Good effort. Bad late execution.  The over rotating and hedging cost us A lot in this game. As well as missing bunnies. 
hicks and parr played well. We need more production from “bigs” not named Holden. 
 

another year looking for people who can shoot

Weird game overall.  
Bouyea is a pro and the difference maker. 
Ton of free throws for us.  
No quit with this group and couldn’t always say that with previous squads.  
Still don’t see where we will all of a sudden be a better shooting team.

You gotta give credit the team fought hard til the end against an undefeated team. Our backups got some good experience and will hopefully grow up faster playing in this type of tournament. Loved seeing the towson tiger logo on live TV. Gotta be happy with the amount of free throws made and trips to the line. If only some of those gimme lay ups went in during the first half it could have been even closer. I liked the heart, grit, balls, but we still lack the brains at times lol stupid mistakes, bad looks, same ol song and dance. Wish we had all our guys but we'll see what the team has still in the tank tonight

I would think Ruzzuto, Gibson and Gray should help that, no?

Need more from Jones or whoever comes off the bench. Hicks could be a good player once he shoots better. But as a freshman thrown into the fire early at point. He’s done well. 
 

we need 18 points 15 rebounds 4 blocks a night combined from Thompson gray parr bieku.

They would help. This isn’t a good shooting team with them. Without them it’s ugly.
