Here’s how to watch Thursday’s matchup between the Marshall Thundering Herd and No.24 Cincinnati Bearcats online.

The No. 24 Cincinnati Bearcats will look to close out their nonconference slate on a high note when they host the Marshall Thundering Herd on Thursday night at Fifth Third Arena.

Cincinnati is well on its way to a seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance under Mick Cronin with a mark of 9-2 so far. The Bearcats’ resume is headlined by a 55-54 overtime win at Iowa State back on December 1 in one of the nation’s most difficult road environments to play in.

Cronin’s teams always play tough, physical defense, and the 2016 Bearcats are allowing just 0.886 points per possession to rank 19th in the country. Sophomore Jacob Evans is leading the way offensively with 15.3 points per game, while NC State transfer Kyle Washington has chipped in 15 points and 7.7 rebounds.

Thursday’s game begins at 7:00 p.m. Eastern on CBS Sports Network, with full streaming details available below.

After leading the program to its first winning season since 2012, third-year head coach Dan D’Antoni is projected to have Marshall in the top half of the Conference USA standings. The Thundering Herd currently sit at 7-4 and own a victory over a solid Ohio team, but have lost three out of their last four Division I games heading into Thursday.

D’Antoni’s coaching style takes after his brother Mike’s, as the Thundering Herd run a fast-paced offense that is putting up 86.2 points per game to rank 16th in the country. Marshall has a deep rotation with six players averaging in double figures, with sophomore guard Jon Elmore leading the way at 20.2 points per game.
