The Rice Owls are a tough team to back if you look strictly at the numbers, but they played decent against Southern Miss yesterday and that could be the shot in the arm they needed to compete in this tournament. The Marshall Thundering Herd are winning games, but they’re winning their last five contests by an average of just 3.4 points. Marshall is 2-5 against the spread this season as a double digit favorite. I’ll grab the points here with Rice.
