Game 52 - Marshall vs. West Virginia

December 17 at Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, WV
ESPNU

After a tight first half, it was easy to see over the final 20 minutes why West Virginia could at least be a Sweet 16 team in March.

Marshall hit six of its first 12 three-point attempts, led by as much as five points and eventually trailed only 35-32 at halftime. The second half was a different story as the Thundering Herd missed all 13 attempts from behind the arc and WVU's pressure eventually was far too much for its in-state rival to handle in a 86-68 final.

The Mountaineers were the best offensive rebounding team in the country coming in and they showed why, grabbing 22 in 40 minutes. 

This list of the top 10 offensive rebounding teams is so random & great:

1. WVU
2. Quinnipiac
3. Washington
4. Texas-Arlington
5. Baylor
6. Wagner
7. Georgia Tech
8. Towson
9. N.C. State
10. N.C. Central
