Sophomore Four McGlynn, whose heroics earned the Towson men’s basketball team a last-second victory Wednesday night, tallied a season-high 23 points to lead the Tigers past East Tennessee State University (ETSU), 83-77, in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) Friday night in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Towson (25-10), which has won 25 games for just the third time in school history, advances to the CIT quarterfinals next week. The game date, time and opponent will be announced at a later date.
McGlynn shot six-for-seven from the field, all three-pointers, and made five-of-six from the free throw line.

He was joined in double figure scoring by classmates Mike Burwell (13 points) and Rafriel Guthrie (12 points).
Sophomore Timajh Parker-Rivera recorded seven points, grabbed a team-high nine rebounds and blocked a career-high five shots. As a team, Towson blocked 10 shots, its second most this season. Freshman John Davis contributed four points and eight rebounds in just 12 minutes of action.
