Pretty nice writeup by Spiro at this link on the tweet... https://x.com/TowsonTigers/status/1942247926484414885

Opportunity to be Big XII champs playing Kansas and Houston (if that report is true). Question is how many non-con home games are we gonna get?

Looks like I won't be trekking north for Thanksgiving. Some decent talent in this tourney.

Could be a nice Family Feud V if this report checks and we have a Temple-Towson matchup.

The team that I saw play against Syracuse and the one that played the last half of the CAA season was vastly different. Yes, the caliber of talent on the opponents have a little something to do with it but the defensive adjustments made throughout the season should certainly be applauded. Winning breeds winning attitudes and depending on the matchup we get in the bracket, I hope the mentality can continue into that first round game and the defensive prowess can continue. Certainly a big step up in class for this first round game.

A Philly fan being loud and obnoxious? Say it ain't so!!

Piss off, Drexel!!! CAA CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN

Hooboy, came up monstrous on D when it was 9-8 and now there's a lot of breathing room.

Welp, it wouldn't be a Towson sport without making it difficult. Struggled with the groundballs, no sync or attack on offense. It's almost like they got the 4-goal lead and figured they could sit on it (where have we seen that before?). With this season of OT, we might as well just skip to that portion of the video.

Great D on the final possession. I'd much rather have had a couple more goals on those 2nd quarter possessions but I get it that Nads wanted to rest his first liners for the second half. Come out in the 3rd and stomp on them.

Fitzy showing why he got Rookie of the Year in conference. Whoever is working the main camera for this stream needs to be replaced. They're on the struggle bus trying to find the ball.

Love getting one at the buzzer off a turnover.

Not sure I've ever seen an oopsie like that out of a team. Our fullcourt defense has been on display early trying to take advantage of Drexel's clearing failures.

I thought when we had the ball numerous times up 10-9 in the 4th and couldn't get another goal that it would come back to haunt us. Getting those loose balls and rebounds in OT was the only reason we won then. If Hofstra gets a possession, I think they'd have found something. But no matter, wasn't our best game and we'll be ready for Drexel. I hate the fact that even though we're the 1 seed and earned home field that it turns into a neutral site. No goal horn. The playing of the other team's fight song when they score. I'm not a fan. CAA has to choose one or the other -- announce the site ahead of time and then treat it like a neutral if the home team is playing or lean in to the fact that a team earned its way to home field and let them have their quirks.

Almost like a Samb 2.0. Color me unimpressed for now. But you can’t teach size so maybe this guy can learn a few new things.

Oof, what's that say about Drexel's team ability if they had 4 guards capable of being at those places all playing on the same team and the best they could do was the 8/9 game.

Tremendous defensive effort holding Fairfield scoreless for 33 minutes while we went to work on them offensively. Also, the bronze bust of Coach Runk looks great and the athletic department put together a nice video of the ceremony.

Shhhhhh...you're messing with the narrative!!

If we forfeit the season, can you imagine how many more FIRE THE COACH threads will be started? 🫣

Looks like a guy who has zero fear going to the basket and is able to handle contact on the drive. Good size for going through traffic. Almost feels like a better offensive version of Lowery. And it's fine if he doesn't shoot many 3's. If the guys we want to return do come back, that can be their job and Doumbia can potentially open up more space for them.

Add in Clayton (Iona) and Broome (Morehead...giggity) & Jones (FIU) as big-time players who got their start with the mids. It's now turning into a cycle -- the power 5 get the McDonald's kids and then whatever they can procure from the portal from the mids while the mids reload and find the next big stars to feed up to the power 5. If you're good, the pro scouts will find you. Of course, it's easier to watch you on ESPN instead of Flo and travel to NYC instead of Farmville, VA (Jerome Kersey came from Longwood!) but they will always find the talent. One interesting thing that's been batted around is that because a lot of the mids don't have big-time football (or no football), especially those teams in the A-10 and Big East, a ton of that revenue sharing money will be able to go to the basketball programs rather than using the majority of it for football. Yeah, collectives at Ohio State, Alabama, Florida, etc are going to be able to raise funds to help out basketball too but the Masons, Butlers, VCU's, Loyola Chicagos of the world can compete if they manage the funds correctly.

Solid physical defensive effort after the first quarter. Drexel was not (frozen stream...wait for it...wait for it...wait for it) getting many decent looks after they put up 4 in the first. But that 4th quarter...it's amazing what happens when you win faceoffs on a consistent basis.

I definitely don't see an SEC player when I look at him. Maybe SC Upstate but not SC Columbia.

Elon's gonna be fielding a team from the local high schools at this rate.

I don't know what that deal is other than it was created by Fox Sports to give themselves more hoops inventory in March and to invite teams from conferences that they have contracts with (Big East, Big Ten, Big XII). I have to think that we turned down any invites because there are at least 10 teams in the NIT who don't belong in there over us and after a snafu between the NIT & CBI, the NIT invited and then dis-invited South Alabama. So we are either getting completely disrespected or we said no thanks.
