WIN

Central Florida is a top 216 team that is 2-3 on the road versus teams that are 200 or worse. This team recently defeated a good Rice team on the road as well as beating Eastern Carolina. Although they do have the revenge angle, this team did lose on the road to SMU, did lose and SO Mississippi who are both teams 230 or worse. This team has played a lot of teams tough, but I think this will be a let down game for them on the road as they lose this one considering they don't seem to respond well after a bad loss. I think Marshall sweeps the series here with the home court advatange. I am well aware that both teams are weak. However, given the fact hat Marshall played this team on the road and won by 4 points and now come back home to get this game as they opened up favored by a basket says a lot. This team recently has been playing solid ball, although losing. They beat SO Miss on the road - although that was not a great accomplishment or either was losing to SMU on the road. But, they only lost to Memphis by 10 as well as Rice by 3 at home which says a lot about their home play. I'll take the strong play of the home team on this small line. Two stars on Marshall.
