Meanwhile, the Hawks are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 1-6 ATS in the last seven overall. Monmouth is 0-4 ATS in the last four Saturday games.
PICK: I’m going to try Towson. The Tigers are coming off a rough year, but their first outing of 2021-22 went well. Towson had four players in double-digit points and the team shot 46.9 percent from the field overall. The Tigers also pulled down 45 rebounds and 14 assists in the win.
As for Monmouth, they had the edge over Charlotte in a lot of categories during their loss, but the 15 turnovers and 21 fouls certainly didn’t help. I like Monmouth to play a solid game here but Towson seems a better cover option overall.
