(EXHIBITION) Towson, Sat., Oct. 18, 2p, ESPN+

If this were a regular season game we'd be favored by somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-20 points.

As of now we'd be 25+ point favs vs all of those opponents you mentioned
Won’t begin to challenge your numbers because I am way out of my league as far as predicting point spreads but would not be surprised if the game is closer than that based on it being an exhibition, first time out of the gate for the Johnnies and Towson having a legit mid- major team.
Personally think it is a savvy opener, if you will, I believe Towson will come to play.

I ,too, wouldn't be surprised if the exhibition is closer than the spread mentioned by Mugs as Pitino will likely tinker with certain lineups, as well as play everyone.

Towson likes to play at a slow pace, too, which is why Rick wants to play them. Last year, unless they really had numbers, they generally held the ball.

That being said, we beat them by 18, playing mostly subs.

Just curious, why mostly subs? Seems an odd approach when your “starters” have no game experience playing with each other.
 
If I had to guess would think Rick will play everyone starters as well as subs in first game. Shorter lineup Michigan game I suspect.
Agree that Pitino will probably experiment with the lineup vs Towson. But Michigan is a Top 10 team - #7 in the AP poll- Pitino can't screw around when it comes to them.

The Michigan is an exhibition, like the one Saturday. They do not count in the standings but the Michigan one will serve more of a parameter of where we are. These are the games you see what works and what doesn’t.
