The Tigers are leading James Madison at halftime, 34-27.

 

The last two weeks have made me more and more disappointed in myself that I didn't go to more games this year. Jerrelle Benimon is a fantastic college player. There was a nice article on him on Deadspin today.

 

Could he be drafted?

Im at the game. Its $9 for a beer. And you have to drink in a designated beer garden on the first floor. Ummm....professional teams are fairer than that. WTF????

61 free throw attempts by Towson tonight.

That is insane

Yeah! And the arena is at about 20% capacity. You would think they would want to attract a crowd for Northeastern v. Drexel. I like college ball, and ill watch Towson but my friend and I aren't sticking around for College of Charleston v. William and Mary on a Friday night for $9 beers in a segregated area where you can't see the game.

I'm a big proponent of family sections at sporting events so that people who want to avoid this kind of stuff can. As you noted, it was only at 20% of capacity so no reason this "problem" couldn't have been remedied.

Tough finish to a very good season. 23-10 and only two season removed from a 1 win season.Next year Coach Skerry will need to restock the cupboard as he'll need to replace several Seniors. Hopefully they can get an invite to a post-seaosn tourney.

Really hoping for an NIT invite. Maybe the story combined with a (likely) nearby opponent in Maryland will get them the nod.

The NIT tends to take teams from the "bigger" conferences, I'd say a CBI or CIT bid is 100% a lock..NIT would be really cool though.

There's an NIT Selection Show, I don't think there's a CBI or CIT one.

Exactly.

The CAA regular-season champion, if they don't win the tournament and get the NCAA auto bid, receive one to the NIT.

 

Since Delaware won both, I wonder if that will have an effect.

 

EDIT: I looked it up. The last time the regular-season champion won the CAA tournament (Old Dominion in 2010) the #2 and #3 teams (Northeastern and William and Mary) both made the NIT.

interesting point, I hope so.

 

I do really like that rule, Vermont, High Point, and a few others lost early in their tourneys, and will get a bid.

Probably opens a spot for the next NIT "bubble team."

FWIW and this is a few days old, Towson isn't even being considered on Bracket Matrix on here for an NIT spot

Not promising then..

 

I think they can make a run in one of the smaller tourneys to be honest. Hope so.

Any other NIT bracketology sites out there? I hope there are CBI/CIT ones as well.

Congrats to the seniors, especially Benimon. I wish they could have had a postseason game to finish things off.

Hell of a year.

[DJ MC]

Spoke too soon.

CIT. They play Wednesday at the University of South Carolina Upstate. They're the OTHER school in Spartanburg, after Wofford.

Towson won their first-ever postseason game tonight, beating USCU 63-60. Apparently it was tied and headed for OT when Four McGlynn threw up a halfcourt prayer as time expired that went in.
