Marshall hosts Wright State tonight in the basketball season opener at 7:00, on ESPN+
Wright State is 1-0 (win vs Lake Erie College 86-53)
Marshall delivered a season opening loss to Wright St last season 80-64, where Kinsey scored 31pts (13/15 from FT)
Wright St has Tanner Holden, who had interest in joining the Herd a few years ago. Holden is a 6’6 wing player who scored 13 last year against Marshall & scored 19 in Wright St’s opener.
Tim Finke has a 6’6 guard Marshall will have to keep an eye on. He scored 18 in Wright St’s opener, 80% from 3.
Grant Basile is a 6’9 225lb big man who shot 75% in Wright St’s opener.
This should be a mostly even matchup. Wright St ranks 109 in KenPom’s rankings, where Marshall ranks 111 (I understand these early season rankings aren’t great to go by because they
Marshall finished last season ranked 92 in KenPom’s rankings, while Wright St finished 73.
Marshall ranked 20th in tempo last season, while Wright St ranked 52nd. The game should get into the upper 70s/80s.
Figured I’d post a few things I found interesting for tonight’s game.
