TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University men's basketball team will head down to Harrisonburg, Va. to face Sun Belt preseason favorites James Madison in the second consecutive game for the Tigers against a preseason conference favorite.
 
SCOUTING JAMES MADISON
James Madison is 2-3 on the season with their only DI win this season coming against a Baltimore-area team in Coppin State. The Dukes have allowed 70 or more points to every DI team they've played this season; they have also scored at least 70 in every game they've played. Towson has not allowed more than 65 points to any team this season, averaging 48.5 points allowed per game to unranked DI opponents. James Madison has had the same starting five for every game this season in Cliff Davis, Bradley Douglas, Gabe Newhof, Justin McBride and Eddie Ricks III. They are the only five on the team to eclipse 100 minutes so far this season. Davis leads the Dukes in scoring with 13.2 points per game, but Douglas (13.0), Newhof (12.0) and McBride (10.4) all average double figures.
 
RETURNERS
Towson is one of only five schools to have a conference player of the year return to their school for the 2025-26 season in Tyler Tejada. The Tigers are also the only team in the CAA to return All-CAA players in Tejada and Dylan Williamson.
 
TRANSFERS
Towson added some key names in the portal. Jack Doumbia comes from Wright State and was used in over 28% of their possessions. Tyler Schmidt joins Towson after a year at Valparaiso where he shot .465 from the field, .382 from deep and .855 from the charity stripe. Mor Seck provides length in the lanes at 7'0" with a 7'3.5" wingspan after spending last season at Fresno State.
