Towson

When: TBD
Where: Xfinity Center
The Skinny: Maryland hasn’t hosted Towson since 1996, but the two schools that are separated by just 50 miles, will do battle again. The Tigers are coming off a very successful campaign in which they went 20-13 and won 11 games in the CAA. Towson has won at least 20 games in two out of the past three seasons under coach Pat Skerry.

William Adala Moto is a force on the interior and ranked in the top 10 in the CAA in points (13.9), rebounds (8.3), and field goal percentage (.441) a season ago. The Wake Forest transfer is relentless when it comes to scoring the basketball. Simply put, there’s very few times that Moto will get outworked in the paint. He’ll certainly be a tall task for the Maryland bigs when the two teams do battle next season.
