HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall and No. 11 ranked Cincinnati will meet for the second consecutive season on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Civic Center in Charleston.

The Thundering Herd (6-4) have won four of its last five games, its latest being a 69-63 win over Coppin State last Saturday. This week, Marshall will venture to Charleston for the second time in three games. It will be the first time that the Herd will play a team in Charleston, one that is not in-state rival West Virginia, since playing Ohio on Nov. 28, 2006, a 60-53 win.

Cincinnati (9-0) leads the overall series with Marshall 19-12, but the Herd won last year's meeting, 73-69 in overtime at UC. This will be the first neutral site meeting in the series. The two teams first met in 1922.
