How Did Towson Do Last Time Out?

Maryland Terrapins Rallied From 13-Point Deficit To Defeat Towson

Things to Look Out For With Towson:

Look, instead of doing bullet points, I’m just going to say this.

Ready?

Towson is going to be one of the toughest pre-ACC tests of the schedule.

Questions?

I’m serious. I realize that this is a young season and everything, but the Tigers have already put together a solid resume. Towson defeated its first two opponents, before having a 13-point lead against Maryland reversed late.

And just so we’re clear, that’s No. 23 in the Coaches’ Poll Maryland. You know, the one that defeated Georgetown in a big rivalry game in Georgetown’s building (I don’t care how good Georgetown is, that’s still a tough thing to do.) The team that is supposed to be a force in a very competitive Big Ten this year.

That one.

That’s the one Towson built a 13 point lead on late.

Towson had four players score double digits against Maryland. This team is legit.

So just to be clear, if BC loses to this team, the narrative should not be that BC lost to just Towson. The narrative should be that BC lost to a darn good ball club.

Got it, everyone?

Alright, let’s make fun of them.

Rating the Opposing Mascot

Doc the Tiger

That Tiger is jacked. It looks like it is going to mascot for this game and then benchpress the team bus during halftime.

Of course, this could all just be projecting. He might be ashamed of his other personas, such as

Nerd Doc

Angry Doc

and Corporate #Murica Doc

We here at final thoughts don’t approve of the multiple personas of Doc, and encourage him to undergo self-reflection and find out what his inner sense of self truly is.

2/10
