TOWSON, Md. - Junior Jerrelle Benimon scored 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as the Tigers (18-13, 13-5 CAA) closed down the Towson Center with a historic 67-64 victory over Hofstra before a crowd of 4,119 on Saturday afternoon.
By posting their 18th win of the season, the Tigers completed a 17.5 game improvement over last year’s team that finished 1-31. Mercer posted a 17 game turnaround during the 2002-03 season and that was matched by UTEP the following year. The two have shared the record until today.

“Hairston said he first learned about Level’s passing when someone posted, “RIP Josh Level” on Facebook, but he wasn’t certain whether it was accurate or not. Then one of his former teammates at Christ School called him and told him it was true.”

“College of Charleston’s Board of Trustees had recently voted to open negotiations with the CAA. Basically, the Cougars are putting one foot in the door to moving from the Southern Conference to the Colonial. It was a move that both Davidson and Appalachian State had refused to do, likely for budgetary travel reasons.
So why not truly get your foot in the door and see what the CAA has to offer by playing Towson in your first game of the season. Now yes, I know the conference schedules are made up in advance, but how about giving me some artistic license for this story.”(via The College Hardwood: What Could Be in The CAA (Recap of Towson vs. Charleston))

Skerry Eliminating Scary…
You might not love #CAAHoops, but you have to reckanize the historical analogy.
“As we went wheels-up, I couldn’t help but to think of Pat Kennedy going all Sir Walter Raleigh and throwing his trenchcoat under the tire of Towson’s shipwrecked bus in last year’s snowstorm. Somehow that was a fitting moment–a desperate measure by a desperate leader, trying to get a basketball team out of the ditch. A jacket is not rescuing a bus, and Kennedy wasn’t Quint.
Towson AD Mike Waddell needed a bigger boat.
The change at the top was inevitable and perhaps a year late, but Waddell deserves credit for finding the right leader in Pat Skerry.”
