Towson @ Elon

Current Records: Towson 11-5; Elon 4-12

What to Know

The Towson Tigers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Towson and the Elon Phoenix will face off in a Colonial battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Schar Center. The Tigers should still be riding high after a win, while Elon will be looking to right the ship.

The Hofstra Pride typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Towson proved too difficult a challenge. Towson captured a comfortable 78-66 victory. Among those leading the charge for them was guard Jason Gibson, who shot 8-for-12 from beyond the arc and finished with 26 points and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Elon came up short against the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks on Wednesday, falling 73-66.

The Tigers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. If their 12-4 record against the spread is anything to go by, the prospects look good for bets placed on them.

Towson found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 69-48 punch to the gut against the Phoenix when the two teams previously met in March of last year. The defeat knocked Towson out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Elon with a vengeful fire.
