TOWSON, Md. – This week's Tiger Talk, Spiro Morekas, the voice of the Towson Tigers since 1991-92, sits down with Towson men's basketball coach
Pat Skerry and redshirt senior forward
Juwan Gray.
Skerry took over a program that had endured 15 consecutive losing seasons. Towson enters the 2020-21 season having won at least 18 games in six of the last eight years and have participated in two postseason tournaments. In 2015-16 and 2016-17, Towson finished with at least 20 wins, the first time as a Division I program that Towson has won 20 games in consecutive seasons. The Tigers enjoyed a strong 2019-20 campaign that resulted in 19 victories and a third-place finish in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) for the third time in five years. Five players earned All-CAA honors, the most of any school in the conference. The team won a program record seven CAA road games and had a seven-game winning streak during the month of January.
Gray, who graduated this summer with a 3.2 GPA with a sport management major and business administration minor, was honored by the 2019-20 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court for his strong work in the classroom. On the court last season, Gray was Towson's top scoring reserve forward, averaging 7 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest. He had seven double digit scoring games and 10 contests with at least five boards. He shot 41% from the field and had a dunk versus Xavier that made the top-10 of SportsCenter.
