PICK: I’m going to stick with Towson. The Tigers put up a valiant effort against a good Clemson team in their last outing. Towson shot 41.8 percent from the field in that one and ended up out-rebounding Clemson 36-33. This year Towson has been scoring pretty well, and they’ve hit 70 or more points in three straight. As for the Midshipmen, they’re still scoring well themselves despite sitting on three losses. Navy has hit 68 or more points in eight of their nine outings so far. I like this one to be a fairly high-scoring matchup with a Towson cover. Should be a fun one to watch.
