TOWSON, Md. - After starting the season with four games away from home, the Tigers are set to open up their home slate Saturday against Pac-12 foe Oregon State on Saturday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m. The game can be seen nationally on ESPN3 or heard locally on WBAL-AM 1090.
Scott Garceau will handle play-by-play duties for ESPN3 while Towson coaching legend Vince Angotti
will provide the color commentary. Gerry Sandusky and Brett Hollander will be on the radio call.
Under first-year head coach Pat Skerry, Towson has played the 15th toughest non-conference schedule in the country thus far, facing off against No. 13 Kansas, No. 17 Michigan, Belmont and UNC Greensboro. Including Oregon State, the Tigers have opened the season against four squads ranked in the top 100 of the RPI in just five games played.
Oregon State enters the weekend 4-1 after dropping a hard-fought battle to No. 18 Vanderbilt, 64-62, in the championship game of the TicketCity Legends Classic in New Jersey.
The Beavers are led by Jared Cunningham's 22.6 points per game. Sophomore forward Devon Collier registered a game-high 19 points in their loss to the Commodores Monday.
The Tigers are paced by Robert Nwankwo's 13.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per contest. The senior forward is coming off a season-high 17 point performance against UNC Greensboro and he's recorded a pair of double-doubles this season, both coming against nationally-ranked opponents.
Towson has won five straight home openers.
