    Marshall -1/-1.5 looks nice.

    early morning here I think this line will move higher.
    Marshall is a quality scoring outfit with no injuries listed
    and at home
    Western KY is averaging 32 points LESS per game than Marshall.
    (93.4 to 61.5)
    Also Western KY only gets 29.2% of their 3p's where
    Marshall is 36.3
    38.4% FG's for WKY / 52.2% FG's Marshall.
    I realize there are counterpoints to this argument
    such as WKY is a more defensive oriented team
    but Marshall can flat-out shoot well.
    Records are 3-1 WKY / 3-2 Marshall hence the line

    this looks good to me. A team that can score like Marshall
    is tough to beat on their home court.
    Another comparison is they both defeated Wilmington
    WKY 73-58 Marshall 96-78 both were home games.
    Going with offense tonight.

    Interesting matchup. I tend to think bad defense (marshal)helps shitty offenses so I'm kinda predisposed to leaning with the good defensive team slowing down the better offense while the bad offense looks better vs the lesser d... Game a pass for me tho so gl

    if the game was at WKY I would sit it out
    but it's at Marshall, so they should be hitting shots.

    As a Marshall season ticket holder and donor I can tell you this team is bad. This team is bad in close games. This team is lazy. And poorly coached. However if they play well and shoot like they did against uncw they could beat wky by 12-15. Would I play wky here in the Henderson Center no. But use caution when backing the bi polar herd team. Want to know more about them look at recent collapse against morehead state where we were up 22 in first half and lost by 8. Or a game last week where Stephen f Austin was down until the 1:22
    Mark of the second half at home and we lost in overtime . Just some insight. Good luck and go herd!

    PS take a look at the Herds ft %

    Ironically it was the Marshall defense and Froshmen who stepped up
    after that ejection. win 74-64
