What to Know
After a five-game homestand, the Marshall Thundering Herd will be on the road. They will take on the Indiana Hoosiers at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
The Thundering Herd have more to be thankful for after their game against the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns on Tuesday. Marshall enjoyed a cozy 93-79 win over Louisiana.
As for IU, they can't say they have nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week. They steamrolled past the Jackson State Tigers 70-35 at home. IU's guard Xavier Johnson filled up the stat sheet, picking up 14 points along with seven rebounds. Johnson's performance made up for a slower matchup against Louisiana on Sunday.
The Thundering Herd have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 11.50 point spread they are up against. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Tuesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Marshall is now 4-1 while the Hoosiers sit at 5-0. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Marshall ranks seventh in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 9.2 on average. As for IU, they come into the contest boasting the seventh most blocked shots per game in college basketball at 7.2. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
