FIU schedule is garbage.. when your schedule only has 4 teams over .500 and a combine 63-88 that horrible.... Marshall on other hand opponent a combine 87-62.. i'll take the team with the tougher schedule, from the better conference and more motivation to win the game..
Everything you said is factually right except both teams want this. Its hard to say who is more motivated. I like this particular match-up for FIU. They have a fast athletic defense and Marshalls offense is pretty bad. There is a lot of bad involved in this game and these teams conferences but FIU's "D" pretty much won them 8 games and will show up VS Marshalls rusty lazy bad offense and make it a long night for them.....I will be the first to say Both teams mainly won against bad teams and that FIU had a weaker schedule but Im taking the better, faster 'D"......All seems = on offense.
