With an 8-3 conference record after its split last week in Texas, Marshall’s fun-and-gun basketball team enters an interesting phase of its schedule.
The Thundering Herd’s next five games are return games, rematches of earlier Conference USA contests. With an 18-game league schedule, every teams plays the other 13 at least once, with five rematch games.
In the Herd’s case, that means a game at Western Kentucky this Saturday, followed by home games next week against Charlotte and Old Dominion and road games the following week against Alabama-Birmingham and Middle Tennessee.
MU is 3-2 against that quintet, averaging 87.
