HUNTINGTON — Marshall assistant coach Mark Cline broke down his team’s game with Western Kentucky before the opening tip.
The Thundering Herd’s offensive flow versus the Hilltoppers’ changing defenses would be key. Would MU attack the WKU defense or slow down?
Also, would Marshall be bullied on the glass?
“Yeah, that was the message all week, that they would switch up zones,” said MU standout and Charleston native Jon Elmore. “A lot of teams have started mixing up their defenses against us, throwing different looks at us.”
In the first half, it was a battle of the keys.
