The UNC Greensboro Spartans are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but are we sure the Towson Tigers aren’t the better team with the best player on the floor? Towson has proven twice it can win on the road, and Timberlake has consistently been a quality player the last 3 years. I kind of believe we’re getting the better team in the underdog role, something I rarely pass up. Give me Towson.
