A combination of the injury bug and a poor offensive performance for the Washington Wizards this preseason has led the team to sign veteran guard John Lucas III, according to J. Michael of CSN Washington. The Wizards are 28th in the league in scoring this preseason (89.6 ppg) and are dealing with several injuries to […]
An injury plagued and weather delay-filled season couldn’t stop Towson’s eight seniors from ending their careers the way they ended last season, as winners. Despite posting just two wins all year in the Colonial Athletic Association, the Tigers matched their conference win total against rival Delaware over the weekend behind the play of their seniors […]
Down 73-71 with less than 10 seconds remaining in Sunday’s Colonial Athletic Association Semifinal game against William & Mary, forward Jerrelle Benimon drove the ball into the paint from the top of the key.

Entering Saturday’s Colonial Athletic Association quarterfinal game against the defending CAA Tournament Champion James Madison, only two Tigers had significant postseason experience. While Jerrelle Benimon had Big East and NCAA Tournament experience, Four McGlynn also had NCAA Tournament experience.

Before Monday night’s conference matchup with rival Delaware, Towson had hosted several big games at SECU Arena.

Look at Towson’s schedule and it will say Feb. 1 was another conference game against Drexel. But to Head Coach Pat Skerry and the rest of the college basketball world, it was much more; it was Autism Awareness Day. Skerry, whose team hosted such a day last season, is the father of an autistic 4-year-old […]
Three years ago forward Marcus Damas and Head Coach Pat Skerry were struggling to get through the worst season in program history. The then-sophomore was tied for the team lead in points with 12.5 per game with center Robert Nwanko. However, he was only shooting 35.6 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from three-point […]
Towson and Delaware is a rivalry that has become etched in the local communities as a football rivalry. The schools have met 15 times over roughly 30 years and have been involved in multiple nail-biters.
