The Charleston Cougars will host the Towson Tigers on Sunday, and the home team is a slight favorite. Towson comes in off three straight losses, most recently at Drexel by a score of 53-49. This appears to be a very winnable game for the Cougars, and I expect them to take full advantage of the opportunity.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - It was less than two weeks ago that the Cougars defeated the conference leading William & Mary Tribe. They shot 54.5 % from the field, winning by a score of 80-72.

2. Perimeter Shooting - The Cougars have an edge when it comes to the three-point shot, hitting at a significantly higher percentage from beyond the arc. They were 8-19 (42.1%) from three-point range in the win over the Tribe.

3. X-Factor - There is also a revenge factor here, with the Cougars looking to avenge a 74-70 loss at Towson earlier this season. The Cougars out-scored Towson 51-41 in the second half of that game.

Selection: This is a play on the Charleston Cougars
