Marshall likes to get up and down the court, and has played to some high totals. It typically is not a good idea to play OVER when the total is 160+ early in the season. Most of the first 10 games are out-of-conference battles, teams are still struggling to find their identity, and coaches are battling with finding good rotational fits. Totals of 160 or more in games 1-10 have fallen to the UNDER to the tune of 132-79-1, or 62.6%. Western Carolina has had trouble scoring, even against poor opponents, and their only legit opponent, Miami, Fla, they were held to 43 points. There will be a lot of pressure on Marshall to get to well over 100 here, and I don't see that happening. Make the play on the UNDER.
