* They play extremely fast: 6th in Tempo, 2nd in offensive shot clock used (they average just 13 seconds of shot clock per possession

* Offense Way ahead of the defense: This is one of those teams that tries to outscore you, rather than all around beat you. 48th in offensive efficiency. Average 87 ppg, good for 14th in the country. They really do nothing bad on the offensive end except offensive rebound. Score bulk of their points from 3 point line and free throw line

* Defense sucks: As noted, they scored 87ppg, but they also give up 86ppg which is ranked 345 in the country

* One elite 3 point shooter, 1 good one and 1 volume shooter: Austin Loop is a skilled 3 point shooter for Marshall who has taken 73 3point shots and just 5 2point shots . He's A one dimensional player who takes 3's in volume but manages to still shoot 49% from 3, pretty impressive. Stevie Browning is also a 40+% 3 point shooter. And then Jon Elmore rounds out the 3 point shooting threats. HE is shooting just 32% but leads the team in attempts.

Keys for UC:
Guard the 3: So far this year is a complete turnaround from last year on 3 point defense. Need that trend to continue. This team will take between 25-40 3 point attempts. Need to make them shoot well below their season average of 37%

Don't foul: 22% of Marshall's points come from the free throw line. IF the 3 point shot isn't falling, they will try to draw as many shooting fouls as possible. They don't score a whole lot of 2 point shots as it is.

Play uptempo This will be one of the fastest paced teams we play all year. I'd love to see what we could do in a neck break pace. Jenifer and Tre Scott need 25 min each in this game. The only reason I see to slow it up, is if our defense is suffering. And even then, we can slow pace, without playing slow

Sounds like the kind of team that will have a rough day with us. I'm sure they haven't seen a defense like ours this year and are probably gonna struggle to score, guessing it'll be their season low to this point. 92-61 cats.

Marshall plays the seven seconds or less style coached by Dan D'antoni. This is going to be a blowout.

Did you ever get your money back? I know you were expecting a barn burner against Farley Dickinson when you bought your 7 dollar tickets but I don't want you to get disappointed again. Just looking out for the legend...

Legend should start a GoFunfMe and we can all chip in and help make it right when Legend has to watch teams that Legend doesn't want to watch. I'm good for the first $7.
