Towson is one of the slowest teams in the country, less than 64 possessions per game. Even though the Tigers are playing on the road, it always seems like they dictate the pace. Monmouth only averages 67 possessions per game and are 7-3 to the under at home. Towson is also 7-3 to the under on the road as well. The last two times these two played, the total was 136.5, with both games going under.

Regional sources are alerting to keep an eye on King Rice's Monmouth, which looks to have found something lately after winning four of five and posting its highest total in CAA play this season (93) at the expense of usually defense-tough Drexel on Thursday night. That might coincide with ex-Texas Southern PG Kavion McClain was recently being ruled eligible and is making an immediate impact, scoring 17 ppg and dishing out 5.5 apg across his pair of outings. Monmouth also dominated the first meeting with Towson in the Baltimore suburbs on January 3, putting a blanket around G Tyler Tejada, a 17 ppg scorer held to just nine as the Hawks soared 62-48. Towson's very bipolar pattern makes the Tigers hard to trust. Play Monmouth
