What to Know

The College of Charleston Cougars are 11-2 against the Towson Tigers since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. College of Charleston and Towson will face off in a Colonial battle at 7 p.m. ET at SECU Arena. The Cougars won both of their matches against Towson last season (90-88 and 66-53) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

College of Charleston came up short against the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks on Monday, falling 86-78. College of Charleston's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of forward John Meeks, who had 27 points, and guard Reyne Smith, who shot 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 17 points.

Meanwhile, the Tigers took their contest against the William & Mary Tribe on Monday by a conclusive 91-69 score. Towson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but guard Cam Holden led the charge as he dropped a double-double on 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The Cougars are expected to lose this next one by 8. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 5-1 against the spread when expected to lose.

Towson's victory lifted them to 13-5 while College of Charleston's defeat dropped them down to 9-6. We'll see if the Tigers can repeat their recent success or if College of Charleston bounces back and reverse their fortune.
