Marshall Thundering Herd welcomes Delaware State today

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Marshall's basketball team springs back to action tonight, beginning the new calendar year against another team from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Delaware State will be the third MEAC member to visit Cam Henderson Center in a row, visiting for a 7 p.m. contest. Marshall (7-6) has defeated the previous two such foes, Coppin State (69-63) and Savannah State (64-48).

Like their conference brethren, the Hornets (5-8) have taken on all comers, almost always on the road. After their trip to Huntington, they travel to Arkansas on Saturday to finish their non-conference schedule.

Other Delaware State foes include Pittsburgh (79-50 loss), Maryland (71-43), Penn State (80-76 in overtime), Northwestern (69-50), Eastern Kentucky (84-51) and Illinois State (87-48). The Hornets' biggest wins have come in overtime, over Wagner (73-69) and rival Delaware (73-67).

Marshall's record is a little better, but the win/loss divide is similar. Using an unofficial Rating Percentage Index simulation (CBS Sports), all of MU's wins have come against teams in the 150-285 range, and all but one of the losses have been to teams 106 or higher.
