TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University men's basketball team will face Cornell on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at SECU Arena. The Tigers are coming off a second place showing at the Terry's Chocolate ESPN Events Invitational Adventure Bracket in Kissimmee, Florida.
SCOUTING CORNELL
Cornell is 5-2 on the season, on a five game winning streak having not scored fewer than 86 points each of the past five games. The Big Red ascribe to the philosophy that three is greater than two, with over 57% of their field goal attempts coming from outside the arc. They are ninth in the country in effective field goal percentage at .611. They play very fast, with the 11th fastest tempo in college basketball this season. Towson has the seventh slowest tempo in college basketball this season. While Towson has longer possesions on both sides of the ball (18.8 seconds on each side), Cornell only shows their fast tempo on the offesnive side of the ball with the seventh fastest offense in the country. On the defensive side of the ball, they are outside the top 300 in tempo with possesions lasting 17.9 seconds.
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.
