Game outlook

Toledo is on the road playing Marshall at the Henderson Center stadium on Saturday, 12/17/2022 @ 3:30pm EST. Marshall -2.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Marshall -3.5.

On Saturday afternoon, the Toledo Rockets, from the MAC, will travel to West Virginia to face the Marshall Thundering Herd, from the Sun Belt Conference. With two straight wins, Toledo enters this matchup at 7-3 on the season. Marshall is 9-2 on the season and undefeated at home. Opening tap will take place at 3:30pm Eastern Standard Time.

The rockets are rolling

The Toledo Rockets have won seven of their first ten games this season after two straight wins. Toledo has three more non-conference games to play before starting MAC play. With a 69-68 win over Canisius in their last game, the Rockets improved to 4-0 at home this season. RayJ Dennis was Toledo's story. His 29 points included the team's final 16 points. In addition to his nine rebounds and six assists, Dennis grabbed nine rebounds for his team. During the game, Dennis was supported by teammate JT Shumate, who scored 20 points before fouling out. Toledo scored 69 points and shot 38.9% from the field despite the win. Canisius was held to 37.7% shooting overall by the Rockets.

After a week off due to finals, Toledo returns to action as the first semester draws to a close. During rest, the Rockets average 83.3 points per game and shoot 47.6% from the field.

Keeping up with the herd

Marshall comes into this matchup off a loss, but is undefeated at home this season, standing 6-0. Marshall is 9-2 overall and has just three non-conference games left before Sun Belt Conference play begins. The Thundering Herd lost 75-67 to UNC Greensboro in their last matchup. It was the team's first loss since its season-opening defeat and ended a nine-game winning streak. Under 10 minutes into the second half, Marshall embarked on a 9-0 run to take the lead. To end their winning streak, Marshall made only two field goals. Taevion Kinsey led Marshall with 24 points, six assists, and four rebounds. Taylor scored 17 points.

This season, Marshall averages over 80 points per game and has a +13 point differential. Their field goal percentage is 46% and their three-point percentage is 32%. Against the Thundering Herd, the opposition shoots under 40% overall and just 29% from three-point range. Marshall pulls down 42.5 rebounds per game for an advantage of +3.9 rebounds per game. In addition, the Herd is penalized 15.4 times per game.

There has not been much challenge to either team's schedule to start the season, so far. Toledo has a more efficient offense while Marshall has both an efficient offense and defense. The ball moves quickly and both teams play sloppy basketball. This season, Toledo is 1-1 on the road, while Marshall is undefeated at home. As a result, I'm leaning toward Toledo because they have knocked down more shots this season. Both teams are relatively even, so side with the team that can make more shots.

Toledo Highlights

With a power ranking of 79, Toledo is ranked #18 in offense (scoring an average of 83.30 per game), #339 in defense (allowing an average of 77.30 points to be scored against them per game) and are 7-3 (6-4 ATS) this season.

Marshall Highlights

Marshall Thundering Herd has a power ranking of 113 and are #27 for offense (scoring an average of 82.10 per game), #132 for defense (giving up an average of 77.30 points per game) and 9-2 (8-3 ATS) overall. Toledo went 0-3 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Marshall.
