Winding Down, Towson Wins

Hofstra just forced a timeout with its full court press, after senior guard Antoine Agudio made two free throws to bring the Pride within five points. With just over five minutes remaining, Towson leads 55-50.

Agudio was called for a foul as the shot clock wound down for the Tigers, sending Thornton to the free throw line.

Durant just threw down a slam dunk as Towson broke Hofstra's press and extended the Tigers' lead to eight. That gives him 12 points. Towson's really trying to extend the game, moving the ball inside, outside, and all around the perimeter.

After a Hofstra shot got lodged between the rim and the backboard, the possession arrow gave the Tigers the ball. Things are really going their way.

With just under two minutes left, Durant has scored 16 points and Towson leads 68-55. Hofstra resorted to fouling already, fouling C.C. Williams in the backcourt and sending him to the free throw line.

First Team All-CAA guard Antoine Agudio may have taken his last shot with just over a minute left, as he spotted up five feet beyond the arc. But no, the senior got another one with 2.7 seconds remaining, and this one was a swish. Towson wins 81-66.
