Marshall @ Southern Miss
Current Records: Marshall 10-17; Southern Miss 6-20
What to Know
After a two-game homestand, the Marshall Thundering Herd will be on the road. Marshall and the Southern Miss Golden Eagles will face off in a Conference USA battle at 8 p.m. ET on Monday at Reed Green Coliseum. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
The Thundering Herd ended up a good deal behind the Charlotte 49ers when they played this past Saturday, losing 99-84.
Meanwhile, the contest between Southern Miss and the Texas-El Paso Miners this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with the Golden Eagles falling 84-70 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.
Marshall is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 3-11 against the spread when favored.
Marshall is now 10-17 while Southern Miss sits at 6-20. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Thundering Herd are 12th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 77.3 on average. The Golden Eagles have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 20th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 64.3 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
