The Towson Tigers are the clear better team here and have the ability to blow the doors off, but a lot of their games have come down to the wire. Also, this is a look ahead spot for Towson with a road game against Clemson on deck. The Long Island University Sharks aren’t good, but they should be up for this game with a solid team coming to their neck of the woods. Give me the points.
