This feels like a lot of points to be giving to Towson on the surface, but realistically, the Dons are the far better team here and should have no problem winning this game. The Dons are one of my dark horses to make some noise in the WCC this season and I just think that Towson’s overmatched here. Give me San Francisco in this one.
