Meant to start this yesterday. However we have a home match against the team we are competing against to avoid the bye. Our only other home games are against NU and HU. Thursday was a must win and we won. This game is very close to a must win since we already lost to them, and in embarrassing fashion. This game appears to be critical for our quest to finish .500 or above in conference. Lose this one and we will have to steal one somewhere else, likely the road.

Towson is playing up and down. They beat bad teams and lose to the top teams. They are a physical team. We need to continue to defend the 3 well. They torched us from 3 last time. If they get hot we may be out of this one early. Butler will need to do well down low on the defensive side. We need to crash the boards hard and win the rebounding margin in this one. We can't afford to give Towson extra attempts. If we limit their 2nd chances and win the rebounding margin I think we win this one. If we don't I think we lose. It is not a good matchup for us but I expect it to be a low scoring slugfest and stay close throughout.
