UMass are the better shooting team in this matchup, though neither has played competitive opponents the first games of the season, Towson struggled at home in a close win vs Albany where the Tigers were favorites by -16. UMass covered their -17 spread vs Central Connecticut and shot 53% from the floor and 47% from three point range. If Townson allowed Albany to shoot 32 % from deep at home, it's likely UMass will continue to have success in that area when they host Towson. UMass is also in a much tougher conference and needs these outer conference wins to stack up before playing tough teams like Dayton, Davidson, VCU, and Richmond.
