Tech and Marshall will showdown again tomorrow afternoon. Marshall is always a tough matchup due to the style of play that they play. They are led by Jon Elmore, their do everything point guard. He can really score the basketball as well as distribute it to his teammates. Erik McCree had 30 points for Tech in the previous meeting so he will obviously be a key, but what's new. Tech is going to have to really score the basketball in order to have a chance.
Keys to the game:
1. Tech will need to come out with good energy from the tip. Marshall likes to start fast as evidenced by their absurd first half at the TAC earlier this year in which they shot 56% from the field and made 9 three's.
2. Tech will need to run Marshall off the 3 point line. Coach D'Antoni is just like his brother Mike and they like to get up and down the floor and let it fly from three. They can shoot the ball well 1 through 5. Tech defended the three well in the 2nd half of the last meeting which helped them make a late comeback.
3. Tech will have to knock down some 3's of their own. Jacobi Boykins is obviously the best shooter for Tech, but Derric Jean, Bracey, McCree, and Harris will all need to knock down a few to give Tech its best chance to win. A minimum of 12 three's will need to be made.
Game will be at 2 PM on CBS Sports Network. Looking forward to it.
