Current Records: Drexel 8-6; Towson 8-6

What to Know

The Drexel Dragons are 2-10 against the Towson Tigers since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Thursday. Drexel and Towson will face off in a Colonial battle at 7 p.m. ET at SECU Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Dragons winning the first 65-61 at home and Towson taking the second 66-62.

Drexel picked up a 66-56 victory over the William & Mary Tribe on Saturday. Drexel's forward Amari Williams did his thing and had 18 points in addition to nine boards and six blocks.

Meanwhile, the Tigers were close but no cigar on Saturday as they fell 76-74 to the College of Charleston Cougars. Five players on Towson scored in the double digits: guard Nicolas Timberlake (14), guard Cam Holden (12), forward Charles Thompson (12), guard Nygal Russell (12), and guard Christian May (10). This also makes it three games in a row in which Cam Holden has had at least three steals.

The Dragons are expected to lose this next one by 6. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Drexel's win lifted them to 8-6 while Towson's defeat dropped them down to 8-6. We'll see if Drexel can repeat their recent success or if Towson bounces back and reverse their fortune.
