Pick

I’m backing the Herd here. Marshall’s just the better team top to bottom and Texas State benefitted from one of the worst shooting performances I’ve ever seen from a basketball team in a conference tournament in Old Dominion. I think this is going to be a bit of a reality check for the Bobcats, so give me Marshall here.
