Towson Faces Tough Road Ahead Against UNCW with Key Players Missing

Towson has recently completed a challenging non-conference schedule primarily consisting of road games and neutral site matchups. Their upcoming games against UNCW and Charleston, the two-time defending champion, are also on the road. Historically, Towson excels in rebounding, but without Thompson, they are missing a key player in the frontcourt. As a result, UNCW now holds the advantage in rebounding. Additionally, Towson's perimeter game is lacking, and they do not rely heavily on fast breaks. Given these factors, it is likely that UNCW will seek revenge for last season's loss in the CAA quarterfinals by defeating Towson in their upcoming matchup.
