mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted March 1 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard/_/date/20240229/seasontype/2/group/10 Towson had very little trouble with North Carolina A&T tonight, winning 84-58. The Tigers improve to 18-12 overall and 11-6 in the CAA, while the Aggies fall to 5-12 in the CAA. TowsonKind of tough to recap a game with no boxscore and there were no live stats the entire night. But watching this game, Towson was ready to play against an inferior opponent unlike the Hampton game and the Pirates are actually playing decent ball after beating Monmouth tonight. But it all comes down to UNCW on Saturday. Charleston will win the CAA regular season title again and take the top seed. UNCW falls to 11-6 with their loss to Hofstra tonight, who moves to 12-5 along with Drexel. Hofstra has the tiebreaker and they play Charleston at the end. Even if they fall to 12-6, they beat Towson once, so they would get the higher seed. Drexel is 12-5 and a loss to Northeastern at home means 12-6. If Towson loses to UNCW, none of that matters. If they win and Drexel loses, they could get third, but the only important thing is beating UNCW to get to fourth. More later about the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted March 1 No post game quotes again as the broadcast was once again situated upstairs. Either way, Spiro is not going to ask a head coach walk up the stands after the game, especially one who had hip replacement surgery a few years ago. I thought Towson played the way they should have played the last month and helped them beat Charleston on the road. That was by impressive ball movement and making the extra pass. No stats, but I assume we had double digits assists tonight. Tarke and May had it going early and that was needed. It got sloppy in the second half, but that happens sometimes when you get a 34 point lead. It's rare on the road to get one so it was nice to see. But if you play the right way, you can make more than 2 threes. Might not shoot 50% but at least you get clean looks and are in rhythm. On to UNCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSU88 1,073 Report post Posted March 1 For a change, one of our games was actually entertaining, with some good ball movement and uptempo play. I’m not kidding myself, I know it was NCAT, but it’s not our fault they’re bad. We handled our business and now have a punchers chance at finishing in the top four Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TuTigers2012 1,071 Report post Posted March 1 Beat a bad team, something that wasn’t don’t enough this year. A game where our “bigs” could dominate their small front court. Charles played volleyball on the glass which is much needed. Running actual offense and passing helps (novel concept to this crew). Atleast we are consistent now in no post game on the road! Aggies had a few guys out so that certainly helped. Move to 17-12 with uncw who, we very well may play again in 4-5 game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted March 1 The boxscore is finally out. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401600755 Three-point shooting 9 of 23 (39.1%), 7 of 13 from the line. May with 15 points and 5 rebs (3-7 3pt). Tarke with 12 points, 10 rebs, 5 assists, 3 blocks, 4 TOs (Towson had 16 TOs, many late against their press). Thompson with 6 points and 12 rebounds. Jones had 11 points and 2 assists. Probably best pass of the night to CT for the easy dunk from down low. Tejada 7 points, 1-5 3pt, with 3 assistrs. Dylan with 10 points and 7 rebs with 2 assists. Paar had 4 assists and 6 pots. Wonder of that assist total was a career-high. Won rebound battle 51-27. Aggies tho 33.3% from the field and 3-of-18 from beyond the arc.

The only question is whether UNCW or Towson will have the bye in the second round, providing one more opportunity to lose to a poor team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s pretty likely that our path is 12/13, uncw, Charleston, final. Or uncw/12-13 winner, Charleston, final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
