Wright State vs Marshall Prediction

I’ll stick with Wright State but I’m probably avoiding this one. The Raiders blew past a struggling Green Bay squad in their last game thanks to 51.7 percent shooting and 20-of-25 (80 percent) from the line. Wright State had a 29-24 advantage in rebounding and notched 14 steals off 18 Phoenix turnovers. The 86 points were a nice total after finishing below 70 points in consecutive games prior to that.

As for Marshall, they started pretty slowly against a decent Western Kentucky team in their last outing but eventually pulled off the 16-point win. The Herd shot 43.3 percent from the field in that one with 42 rebounds and just eight turnovers. Marshall has 77 or more points in consecutive games now, but they’ve been giving up quite a bit on the other side to good offenses lately.
