 They won one game last year; let that sink in, ONE GAME.  With a thrilling 72-71 victory over Drexel on Saturday night, Towson University won its 16th game of the season and 11th in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).  With a record of 16-13 and two games left in the season, the Tigers have clinched [...]

Towson Tiger freshman Jerome Hairston has had a lot thrown at him this year. He has started all but one game at point guard for a team coming off a 1-31 record.  He joined a team that returned only three scholarship players from last year.  The starting lineup consists of five players who had never [...]

A couple weeks ago, after the Towson men’s basketball team lost a large first half lead against Northeastern University and eventually lost the game 70-59, head coach Pat Skerry said afterward, that his team needed to learn how to handle prosperity.  At that moment, he was speaking about how to play with a large lead [...]

I had planned to write a quick recap of the non-conference portion of Towson’s basketball season. Then move onto a look ahead to CAA play, which begins on Wednesday night in Wilmington, NC for the Tigers.  However, a strange and unexpected thing happened in Corvallis, Oregon Saturday night. Towson upset the 9-2 Beavers 67-66 in [...]

After watching and following the Wizards for the past several years, only one thing comes to mind. To quote the great Vince Lombardi, “what the hell is going on out here?” No team can be more infuriating in this massive media market, than the basketball team in D.C. It all starts and finishes with one [...]

Sports seasons are long, Major League Baseball runs from late March to early November, the NFL goes from September into February, the NBA from October into June, College basketball goes from early November until early April, the NHL…oh yeah that’s right, well you get the point.    Because seasons are so long, coaches often break them [...]

Often, when athletes face a former team, they are so excited and pumped up for the game it can lead to a less than stellar performance.  That was not the case with Jerrelle Benimon, a Georgetown transfer, who almost led the Towson Tigers to an upset victory over the No. 15 ranked Georgetown Hoyas on [...]
