In a game played with March-like intensity in November, Towson dropped a tough 84-80 overtime decision to Kent State in front of a raucous crowd at SECU Arena on Monday night. Fans attending this topsy-turvy non-conference struggle six days into the 2019-20 season received their monies worth and headed into the cool evening hoarse. Players on both teams of the physical battle played soul-to-soul defense, made tough shots and fought for every loose ball. Drives to the basket drew thudding contact. Each defensive possession was played with ferocious desperation.
