Game Preview
The Thundering Herd (17-10, 9-5 Sun Belt) have been up and down throughout their games in February. Despite this, they are coming off a solid win over South Alabama on Feb 16. Wyatt Fricks delivered a strong performance of 27 points, seven rebounds and five blocks in the victory. He leads the team at 15.4 points per game but has elevated his scoring to 21.3 points in February so far.
The Mountaineers (18-10, 10-5 Sun Belt) have won three of their first four games to begin February. However, their seven-game win streak ended after losing to James Madison on Feb. 14. The team leads the Sun Belt Conference in scoring defense (64.3 ppg) and 3-point percentage defense (30.6). Kasen Jennings tops the team in scoring with 15.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest.
Marshall vs App State Head-to-Head
The two programs have had 57 meetings in their history, and the result is 37-20 for the Thundering Herd. The last matchup was in January this year when Marshall won 88-81 at home.
Marshall vs App State Predictions
The matchup may generally be a toss-up with how talented Marshall and App State are in the conference. Despite their win streak coming to an end, the Mountaineers do boast better form as they made their way up the conference standings. If Marshall can’t get hot from downtown and find holes in the opposing defense, the hosts can coast to victory and get back on the win column. Our betting pick here is the Mountaineers to defend a 3.5-point spread.
