East Tennessee State is coming off an opening round CIT win over a very good Chattanooga team, and the Buccaneers have come a long way since starting the season at 0-4. They have been exceptionally strong at home since their 0-4 start, as they have gone 14-3 here in their last 17 games. That run that includes a huge win against Stephen F Austin, an NCAA Tournament bound team that has lost just two games all season, and has the longest winning streak in the country. Towson squeaked past South Carolina Upstate in their CIT opener by a scant 3 points, but had to come from way down to outscore them by 16 in the second half to get the win. I think they will be physically and emotionally spent after the hard earned win, and having to come back on the road again is too much to ask vs. a confident home team that is playing very well. Play East Tennessee State straight-up.
