Drexel's Dominant Frontcourt Puts Pressure on Towson's Offense in Tough Matchup

Despite missing key players like Amari Williams, Drexel maintains a formidable physical presence, particularly with Hargrove and Panov dominating the paint against Towson. The Tigers heavily rely on offensive rebounds, making it challenging to maneuver around Hargrove's size. Towson has struggled at the center position since the departure of Charles Thompson, leading to subpar performance in that area. Additionally, their shooting percentage from beyond the arc drops to 28.9% on the road, posing a challenge against one of the nation's top three-point defenses. Compounded by the notoriously difficult shooting conditions at the DAC, Towson faces a tough matchup against Drexel.
