Towson State at Bowling Green

A first-ever matchup between Towson and Bowling Green will take place tonight at Anderson Arena in Bowling Green, KY. Bowling green got out strong to open the season winning three of their first four, but have since dropped four of their last five. Of the three wins to open the season, two were over Div-II teams and they had no trouble finding the scoreboard averaging 75 points per game. Things have gotten a bit more difficult since as Bowling Green has managed just 59.8 ppg since. This certainly makes it difficult to cover a number hovering around double-digits with an inconsistent offense and lots of empty trips. Towson has found trouble scoring when they play up against teams way over their head as they have already met St. Joe's, Penn State and Villanova where they managed just 55 ppg, but when playing against reasonably close competition they have fared much better at 74.7 ppg. I like the Tigers here that have shown the ability to score against a Bowling Green team that has shown a lack of offensive firepower to be favored in this range. Towson gets the nod.
