Towson @ Bryant
Current Records: Towson 8-4; Bryant 8-4
What to Know
The Bryant Bulldogs and the Towson Tigers will compete for holiday cheer at noon ET Thursday at Chace Athletic Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'
Bryant has to be aching after a bruising 82-62 loss to the Liberty Flames on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the game between the Tigers and the Northern Iowa Panthers on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Towson falling 83-66, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Nicolas Timberlake had a pretty forgettable game, picking up four fouls and turning the ball over five times en route to a 12-point finish.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Bryant is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.
The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 8-4. Bryant is 2-1 after losses this year, Towson 1-2.
