As Marshall prepares for its Wednesday night game against FIU inside the Cam Henderson Center, head coach Dan D’Antoni said he expects a high-scoring, fast-paced game.
“We are basically guarding ourselves,” D’Antoni said.
“It was a great game here the first time. (FIU has) explosive guards. They play identical to us offensively and use the pick and rolls as their main thing. They spread the court and try to get up and down as fast as they can,” he said. “It is going to be a fast game.”
The Herd is coming off a wave of momentum, having defeated North Texas on Sunday 85-82 to extend its win streak to three, and D’Antoni said the atmosphere around the team is great.
