Florida Atlantic @ Marshall

Current Records: Florida Atlantic 7-6; Marshall 7-7

What to Know

The Marshall Thundering Herd are 7-1 against the Florida Atlantic Owls since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. Marshall and Florida Atlantic will face off in a Conference USA battle at 7 p.m. ET at Henderson Center. Neither the Thundering Herd nor Florida Atlantic could muster much offensive firepower in their last games, so look to the defense to decide this one.

Marshall has to be hurting after a devastating 79-56 loss at the hands of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs last week.

Meanwhile, it looks like Florida Atlantic must have gotten on Santa's naughty list since the squad didn't end up with the victory they were expected to receive two weeks ago. They fell in a 55-52 heartbreaker to the High Point Panthers.

Marshall is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a win. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
