Tulsa vs Marshall tonight...

Wow Marshall up 55-36 and dominating everywhere....they are very aggressive and athletic....6'10 and 310 pounds is too much inside ( graduate student getting his Masters from Oklahoma). It will be extremely tough to beat them at Marshall on Saturday night....big crowd also.

79-61 - domination. How are they so bad in conference play? -- must be on a nice run.
42 rebounds for Marshall. ?? --- #30 Baines kicked A, 26 pts on 9 of 12 shooting.

Realistic loss on the road. Papa and Rob have had some real trouble with Fouls lately and these guys sound like a handful.

They destroyed UTEP as well. Watched both games and this is the worst I've felt about a league game this year. They are pretty damn athletic and have both sizable bigs and quick on quick guards. Herrion seems to be turning the corner. Wish this was at home

They are excellent defensively and block out well. Only saw a few second shots by Tulsa. They are also aggessive with pressure. Papa has his work cut out for him.

wonder if we'll see some Luttman to use up some fouls

They do have six conference losses...where have they been tripping up? All on the road?

[RGV Pony]

wow...here are their losses:

Chattanooga 69-68
Louisville 80-66 on the road
James Madison 80-73 on the road
UCF 65-58 on the road
Memphis 77-61 on the road
East Carolina 82-81
UAB 60-56 on the road
Southern Miss 67-60 on the road
UAB 64-48

The only home stinker was UAB by 16. In fact, take away that loss and the one on the road to Memphis, and all of their losses could have gone the other way, save for Louisville.

Ah-ha! My random stab in the dark was right, they were pretty much all on the road. I watched JMU just get destroyed last night by ODU. Yes, ODU is a solid club, but JMU looked pretty bad. Obviously Marshall's loss to JMU was a couple months ago...things change.

[GiddyUp]

too bad we don't get them at home. they are very strong on their court.

don't know what the line is but Marshall by at least 10.
