Marshall is in the tournament for the first time since 1987. The Thundering Herd (24-10) held off Western Kentucky in the Conference USA tournament champ Marshall is an up-tempo, high-scoring squad, featuring a pair of 20-plus-point scorers in Jon Elmore and C.J. Burks. Elmore led Conference USA in scoring, averaging 22.8 points per game. He dropped 27 on Western Kentucky in the conference tournament championship game to snap their 31-year NCAA tournament drought. Marshall has covered in eight of its last 10 and two of the last four the Herd were big underdogs and they won SU. Wichita State is on a 0-6 ATS stretch. The #13 seeds did very well on Thursday as big dogs and we'll back the double-digit dog here on Friday afternoon.
