#880 ASA PLAY ON Northeastern -120 over Towson, Monday at 9 PM ET - Towson is 6-1 in CAA play while Northeastern is 3-4 yet the Huskies are favored at home. That tells us who, despite the records, the oddsmakers think is the right side here and we agree. Towson is definitely overvalued in our opinion. The Tigers are actually rated as the 6th best team in the conference per KenPom despite sitting with that 6-1 record. They have played the one of the easiest strength of schedules to date in conference play while Northeastern has played the #1 SOS in CAA play thus far. The Tigers haven’t been on the road in a while as they’ve played 3 straight home games. They are 2-1 on the road in CAA play but both wins came in OT so it’s conceivable they could be staring an 0-3 road record if a few bounces would have gone against them. In one of those OT wins Towson trailed by 6 points with under 1:00 minute to go in regulation. Northeastern has already faced 4 of the 6 highest rated teams in the conference and they’ve played 4 road games. One of those road games was @ Towson where the Tigers won 80-73. NE led that game by 7 points at halftime and Towson’s largest lead of the game was the final margin of 7. The Tigers shot better from the field, better from 3 point range, and made 7 more FT’s yet it was a 3 point game with less than 30 seconds to go. Towson is a poor shooting team ranking outside the top 300 in overall FG%, 3 point FG% , FT%, and points scored. They’ve only won @ Northeastern 3 times in their 14 trips to Boston. We’ll take the Huskies tonight.
