Marshall men gets another tough road test at UAB

After getting pushed around by Conference USA leader Middle Tennessee, Marshall can expect no mercy from its next opponent.

In this, perhaps the toughest Thursday-Saturday road trip in the league’s scheduling format, the Blazers from Alabama-Birmingham await. Game time Saturday at Bartow Arena in Birmingham is 2 p.m.

The Thundering Herd (11-7 overall, 4-1 C-USA) is coming off Thursday’s 69-57 loss at MTSU in which the offense was grounded by a 1-3-1 zone and the Blue Raiders ruled the backboards. The final rebounding margin was 58-25.

It has been a long time since the Herd went minus-33 in that stat, and UAB has the front-line personnel to inflict the same punishment.
