Does anyone know what happened to the Marshall basketball team to make them win their last 3 by an average of 16pts after losing their first 6 games? I'm not seeing anyone coming back from injury. Am I missing something?

I'll try... Let's look at Marshalls L3 @ home, which were their last 3 games, they averaged 90ppg.
They are one of those teams that play better at home. Anyone that has ever played basketball, knows that home court advantage is HUGE. Some people just really do better in their comfort zone, on their "own" court, they know how tight or loose their rims are, and they just play better at home.
Let's look at the one team they've played twice this year, James Madison, both which were won by JM.
JM@Marsh, score was JM 89 Marsh 75 Marsh@JM, score was Marsh 84 JM 107
So at home they lost by 14, on the road, 10 days later, they lost by 23 @ JM.
I assume that is why the W.Virg line is at 20.5, they, the linesmakers know that Marshall doesn't play as well on the road.
Oh, and even though W.Virg hasn't really played a lot of "good" competition, at home they are averaging 98.8ppg

Thanks cmo. Nice breakdown. Yeah, this game is actually a neutral site game but I'm still liking WVU here but everything is screaming take Marshall. I was just surprised I didn't see a couple guys coming back from suspension or injury to explain the sudden reversal in quality of play from Marshall.

Couldn't possibly be because their last three opponents were terrible while their first 6 were decent...seriously why people insist on betting on shit they have no clue about is beyond me

W.Virg has played in the Civic center this year, on 11/16, against you guessed it James Madison, same JM that beat Marshall twice. W.Virg won 86-73.
BUT, here's what stuck out to me the most, both times JM played Marshall, they out rebounded marshall 50-27 first game, and 50-31 the second game, so Marshall was out rebounded by an average of 21 in those two games. When JM played W.Virg at the Civic Center, W.Virg out rebounded JM 42-31.
It appears that W.Virg is going to own Marshall down low on the boards, which leads to put back points for W.Virg, and one and done shots for Marshall

People like you are one of the reasons I quit coming around Covers yrs ago, you have NOTHING to add, at least nothing positive or helpful. Oh, and thanks for your in depth response of "uh, maybe some teams were good and some teams bad"...helpful

Also, Marshall only shoots 63% from the stripe. That is going to KILL them in this game as WVU oppenents attempt 24 FT's per game. 249th in the nation. Marshall is 314th in FT%.
On top of that, Marshall is 7th in the country with 29.1 three pointers attempted per game and WVU is 1st in the country in opponent 3 point %.
WVU also (no surprise) leads the nation in forced turnovers and Marshall turns the ball over 13+ times again.

I remember this game from last year too. Huge cbb rivalry between these two. Marshall hung around first half by like 3. Wvu blew them out the water second half. I expect a similar game.

Last year the score was tied at 27 at half time. In the second half WVU outscored Marshall 42-39 to win the game by 3. They did not blow Marshall out in the 2nd half.

Hopefully your Bif from Back to the Future, and you mistaked the score from your Sports Almanac, and that happens this year. You got the Marshall down by 3 at half part right
Just need W.Virg to blow them out 2nd half now. Marshall came out hot, busting 3's, I can definitely see W.Virg going on a big run
