Another day, another game for the Terps, this time in Huntington, WV. I have no idea why we are playing this game, as none of our players are from West Virginia, but their coach said this game has been in place for a while. This is the first time a No. 1 ranked team has played at Marshall and second-straight year they have played the defending National Champions. They are really rolling out the red carpet for us as Brenda spoke at a luncheon today on campus.
Marshall is 5-1 but it's all against teams on their level or below. Their lone loss was by 11 points to Monmouth, who we spanked last year. They are averaging 64.2 points per game, while allowing 57.7. They are shooting 42% and opponents are shooting 33%. They don't shoot many 3s and their free throw shooting is awful. Check out their stats to see for yourself.
Their leading scorer and second leading rebounder is 6'2 C Modupe Ishola who is averaging 13.5 ppg and 8.3 rpg. Judging from the stats, she shoots a ton of layups. Two interesting facts: she has picked up 24 fouls in 6 games and hasn't fouled out, meaning she always is in foultrouble; she has only two blocked shots this year. 6'3 Chantelle Handy starts on the front line with Ishola, but she is averaging less than 5 ppg. Meg Withrow is their three-point shooter, having taken the most at 15 and making six of them. Kendra King is the leading rebounder with 8.5, while only being 6'
