Hampton Pirates Looking to Turn Things Around in the CAA Tournament
Hampton enters the CAA Championship second round with a 13-18 overall record and a 7-11 mark in conference play. The Pirates have struggled to find consistency throughout the season and enter the tournament hoping to put together a strong run. In their last five games, Hampton has recently lost to William & Mary, College of Charleston, Stony Brook, and Hofstra while picking up a win over Northeastern.
Offensively, Hampton averages 70.0 points per game while allowing 70.6 points per contest, and they shoot 42% from the field this season. The Pirates also average 35.9 rebounds and 12.2 assists per game, showing a balanced offensive approach but lacking consistent scoring bursts against stronger competition.
Defensively, Hampton relies on activity and hustle to generate stops. The Pirates average 3.2 blocks and 6.6 steals per game, which helps them create extra possessions. However, their defensive inconsistency has been a challenge, especially against teams with efficient offenses.

Towson Tigers Building Momentum Entering the Tournament
Towson enters this matchup with a 17-14 overall record and a 9-9 record in CAA play, and the Tigers have been playing some of their best basketball recently. Towson has built momentum heading into the tournament with multiple wins down the stretch. In their last five games, Towson has recently won over Stony Brook, Campbell, and Elon while suffering losses to Drexel and Monmouth.
The Tigers average 68.8 points per game while allowing just 66.3 points per contest, making them one of the stronger defensive teams in the conference. Towson shoots 42% from the field and averages 39.2 rebounds per game, giving them a clear rebounding advantage in many matchups.
Defensively, Towson thrives on slowing the pace and controlling the boards. The Tigers average 3.3 blocks and 6.1 steals per game, and their ability to limit scoring opportunities has been a major factor in their recent success. Their defensive style could present problems for Hampton’s offense in this matchup.
Hampton Pirates vs Towson Tigers Pick
Hampton Pirates vs Towson Tigers Pick
- Pick: Towson Tigers - Spread
Towson enters the tournament playing with confidence and has been much more consistent defensively throughout the season. The Tigers allow just over 66 points per game and control the glass effectively, which should limit Hampton’s offensive opportunities. With Hampton struggling recently and Towson gaining momentum, the Tigers should be able to control the pace and cover the spread.
Hampton Pirates vs Towson Tigers Total Pick
- Pick: Under the Total
I like the under in this matchup because Towson tends to slow the pace and rely heavily on defense. The Tigers allow only 66 points per game and prefer to grind games into half-court possessions. With Hampton averaging only 70 points per game and struggling offensively in recent games, the scoring pace should stay below the total.
Final Score Prediction: Towson Tigers 69, Hampton Pirates 61
