The series
The Bobcats lead the Herd 56-49 in the all-time series. The two last met last season on Dec. 13, 2020, where the Herd defeated the Bobcats 81-67 in Huntington, West Virginia.
Player to watch
Kinsey — The junior is more than just a high-scoring guard. Kinsey is Marshall’s go-to man for running up the score. He hasn’t scored less than 21 points in a game since Marshall’s loss to Campbell on Nov. 18, and even then he ended his night in double figures.
Kinsey has also been a constant presence on the court. He’s played all 40 minutes in four games this season, including when he scored 30 points against Akron on Dec. 1.
