Charlotte has lost 5 of their last 7 games and has struggled on both ends of the court this season as the Hornets come into this game ranked just 215th in scoring offense, 255th in scoring defense, & 327th in defensive FG%. Marshall has struggled this season, which includes a 24-point loss at Charlotte, however, the Thundering Herd have won 3 of their last 5 games which includes a win at home against UAB and as I think their offense has plenty success on their home court in this one, I’m taking Marshall to cover this small home spread. Good Luck!
