The Rams opened the second half with a 13-2 run, opened by Michael Anderson's layup and 3-pointer and capped by Larry Sander's 3-point shot. Jamal Shuler made a layup at 15:37 to widen the lead to 38-21, and the Rams led by as many as 22 as they ran away from Towson. Josh Thornton led the Tigers with 13 points.
