TOWSON, Md. – The 2020-21 conference schedule for the Towson University men's basketball team has been released by the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).
 
The CAA will continue an 18-game league schedule but will have a different format this year.  To assist with limiting travel and helping assist the health and safety of student-athletes, coaches and staff, teams will play the same opponent at the same site on consecutive days.  There will be one exception, when a team plays its designated travel partner; that weekend, each team will play one home game and one road game.
 
The CAA conference slate begins on Jan. 1^st and is scheduled to conclude on Feb. 28^th.  Games affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can potentially be made up during alternate dates.
 
"Today's announcement is the first step in the planning process associated with conducting a men's and women's basketball season during the 2020‐21 academic year," CAA Commissioner Joe D'Antonio said in the league's press release. "There are a number of protocols and challenges that still need to be met to make sure that games can be conducted in a safe environment for our student‐athletes, coaches and staff members. Health and safety remain at the forefront of every decision we are making, and we are excited about the possibility of having our student‐athletes back on the court."
 
This past year, Towson finished 19-13 overall and 12-6 in conference play to earn the 3-seed in the CAA Tournament.  The Tigers earned at least 18 wins for the fourth time in the last five seasons and a top-three seed in the CAA Tournament for the third time in the last five years.  Towson had a seven-game winning streak in the month of January.
