Preview: Stony Brook Seawolves at Towson Tigers TOWSON, Md. (Interstat) — A pair of teams jockeying for position in the Colonial Athletic Association standings meet Thursday when the Stony Brook Seawolves visit the Towson Tigers at SECU Arena. The Seawolves (15-10 overall) enter with momentum, having won five of their last six games. Their most recent outing was a 69-55 home victory over Northeastern on Saturday, fueled by balanced scoring. Stony Brook’s success has been spearheaded by guard Andrej Shoshkikj, who is averaging 16.9 points and 4.4 assists over his last seven contests. He posted 22 points in a win at Northeastern last month and is coming off a 10-point, 5-assist performance. Towson (13-12) looks to rebound from a difficult 71-49 road loss at Hofstra on Saturday. The Tigers have struggled lately, dropping three of their last four. They will lean on forward Tyler Tejada, who has been a consistent bright spot. Tejada is averaging 15.7 points and 5.2 rebounds over his last six games, including a 22-point, 7-rebound effort at North Carolina A&T. This matchup is the first of two regular-season meetings between the programs, with the rematch set for March 3 on Long Island. The game features a contrast in recent trajectories, with Stony Brook seeking to solidify a winning conference record and Towson aiming to halt a slide and get back to .500. The Seawolves have shown potency on the road in CAA play, securing wins at Elon, Campbell and Northeastern in January. The Tigers, however, have been strong at home in conference action, with recent victories over Drexel and the College of Charleston. Thursday’s result could prove pivotal for seeding in the upcoming CAA tournament. Stony Brook currently holds the better overall record, but Towson will have the home-court advantage in what promises to be a physical conference battle. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
