Seawolves poised for back-to-back victories against struggling Towson squad

The Seawolves were able to secure victory in the first game and are likely to repeat this success in the upcoming game, even in the event that Octave is unable to participate. Towson has exhibited a pattern of not achieving significant point differentials in their games, instead focusing on simply winning. Within their recent five-game winning streak, they have only covered in five instances. Additionally, their performance in shooting from both the field and the three-point range, as well as in free throw shooting, has been subpar. This lackluster performance in shooting makes it challenging to consider them as strong favorites. Furthermore, their defensive prowess is not substantial enough to effectively counter opponents who adopt a strategic defensive approach.
