Current Records: Marshall 8-13; Old Dominion 8-12

What to Know

The Marshall Thundering Herd have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Marshall and the Old Dominion Monarchs will face off in a Conference USA battle at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday at Chartway Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Old Dominion winning the first 82-81 at home on the road and the Thundering Herd taking the second 87-67.

Marshall sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 84-81 victory over the UAB Blazers on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte 49ers typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday Old Dominion proved too difficult a challenge. Old Dominion had enough points to win and then some against the 49ers, taking their matchup 68-52.

Marshall is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

The Thundering Herd are now 8-13 while the Monarchs sit at 8-12. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Marshall is stumbling into the game with the 18th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.5 on average. Old Dominion has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 50th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 66.6 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
