CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Towson Tigers stand between Xavier and a 5-0 start Thursday night at TD Arena (7 p.m., ESPNU) in the opening round of the Charleston Classic in Charleston, South Carolina.
For Xavier, ranked No. 18 in the Associated Press poll, a glance at Towson is a little like looking in a mirror.
The Tigers and the Musketeers subscribe to a similar brand of basketball built on toughness, defense and controlling the space around the basket.
