Topic: H-D: MU fails to capitalize on size in narrow win

Marshall's game against down-trodden Rice wasn't supposed to be close.

And it shouldn't have been.

The Owls are 5-19 overall, 1-9 in Conference USA and their RPI ranking is No. 304 out of 347 NCAA Division I schools.

Rice is bad.

So bad, in the Owls' previous game they scored only 39 points on 19.6 percent field-goal shooting during a 22-point loss to SMU.

If Uncle Ben's would have sponsored a college basketball program this Rice team would have been the result. Short, bland and led by "Little Ben."
