Not sure why this forum is still fixated on Delaware being down two players... They still have yet to lose even after losing them. This team is a contender to not only win the CAA but to make some noise in march. They can score with the best of them.
As for tonight, Towson has made it clear they depend totally on benimon. In the last game versus these teams benimon has to pour in 29, and they still lost by 7. A couple games back towson was crushed by lowly UNC Wilmington.
Delaware has played the most road games in the country and is no stranger to tough games. They are 8-2 ats on the road. To me... Delaware +3 is the best bet on the board.

I agree Marlo. I checked in on Delawares recent wins. Without Threatt and King-Davis Usher has dominated on offense. He has only scored less than 20 points in one game this month.

I agree, the two players being out at this point in the season is a bit too much for most to comprehend here, however...
Since losing those two players, the only road game they've played came against the worst defense in the CAA (W&M). The other four home games, while impressive, have come against the #6, #7, #8, and #9 offenses in the CAA.
Simply put, the team hasn't really been tested. They have two (sometimes 3) extremely talented guards that can pretty much score on bad defenses and bad offenses at that. It's not like they've been torching the nets; the competition has just been well...bad. The CAA blows.
Towson tonight should be their biggest test of the season. On the road, against revenge, lack interior depth. Benimon did pour in 29 the first meeting, but Towson had to get into an up-and-down contest and come from behind. They couldn't really slow the game and force it into him...he hardly touched the ball late.

They also have saddler, baptists and Kyle Anderson who is one of the better three point shooters in the country.
Anderson has had a great year...but he's 7/32 (22%) since the suspensions. Makes a difference when Threatt can drive and kick as opposed to Saddler and Usher driving and not having the ability to kick to the open shooter; they would rather score.

Have you watched any of Delaware's games since the suspensions? They've came back multiple times at home just to squeek out a victory over week competition... Towson had an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4:17 in their first meeting, and as nropp mentioned, played at Delwares pace (the turnovers would not have helped their cause). With that in mind, the Tigers still kept the game pretty close. As nice as Delware +3 looks, I think this is one game where they fail to generate turnovers and second chance points giving Towson the opportunity to win and/or cover.
Not sure about the home advantage in this one for Towson because their gym is about 1 hour away from Delaware's campus.
Towson -3 for me.
