Paris is 10-0 against Marshall since January of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. Having just played yesterday, the Paris Tigers will head out on the road to face off against the Marshall Lions at 6:00 p.m. Marshall took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Paris, who comes in off a win.

Paris is headed into the contest after thoroughly thrashing Lawrenceville: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Paris blew Lawrenceville out of the water with a 70-22 final score. The Tigers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine matches by 28 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, after a string of three wins, Marshall's good fortune finally ran out on Thursday. They lost 43-21 to Robinson.

Paris' win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 18-7. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.7 points per game. As for Marshall, their loss dropped their record down to 15-12.

Everything came up roses for Paris against Marshall in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, as the squad secured a 52-24 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Paris since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
