Meanwhile, the Camels are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 5-1 ATS in their last six after an ATS win. Campbell is 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall.
PICK: I’m going to try Marshall but probably staying away. We haven’t seen much from the Herd yet, but they’ve taken care of business so far. Marshall shot a solid 40.3 percent from the field with 47 rebounds and 21 team assists in their last game, but this will be a tougher matchup.
As for Campbell, they played admirably against a tough Duke team despite shooting just 36.1 percent from the floor The Campbells did win the rebound battle 34-31, so that’s good news moving forward. I expect this one will be close most of the way, and I’m taking Marshall as more of a coin-flip play.
