Marshall at Western Kentucky

Marshall isn't winning a lot, but they are playing hard and covering. The Thundering Herd is 4-0 ATS against a team with a winning record, plus 4-1 ATS on the road against a team with a winning home record. They were a big dog at Akron the last game and covered in a 70-63 loss with several second half rallies, so they are not quitting. They lost to No. 22 West Virginia by just three points.  They catch a break against a Western Kentucky team that is not big up front, with 6-6 George Fant (11 points per game, 7 rebounds per game) and 6-4 T.J. Price, the leading rebounders. The Hilltoppers are 2-10 ATS following a victory, as well as 4-11 ATS after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. They come off a 104-62 win over Alice Lloyd College, and the scrappy big dog matches up well. Play Marshall!
