HAVE YOU HERD?
Despite a league-leading ninth double-double by senior forward James Kelly (Ann Arbor, Mich), Marshall's comeback bid fell short at Charlotte, 103-95, in men's basketball action on Thursday night at Halton Arena. It was the Herd's first loss in Conference USA play, snapping a five-game win streak. In spite of the loss, Marshall reached the 90-point mark for its sixth consecutive game, extending a school record in conference play. The last time the Herd scored 90 or more points in six consecutive games was during a seven-game stretch from Dec. 4 to 20, 1971.
A WIN WOULDââ'¬Â¦
Give Marshall its third road win, most in a single season since going 5-8 away from Huntington in 2011-12
SCOUTING THE MONARCHS
Old Dominion (10-9, 3-3) boasts the top scoring and rebounding defenses in Conference USA, limiting opponents to 60.8 points and 33.9 boards per game. Trey Freeman is the No. 3 scorer in the league with a 19.1 points-per-game average, and leads the Monarchs with 3.3 assists per game. Brandan Smith is ODU's top rebounder with 8.6 boards per game. Last time out, Old Dominion snapped a four-game losing streak with a 68-62 win at home against WKU (Jan. 21).
Marshall has dropped five consecutive meetings with the Monarchs, with its last win (68-64) coming Nov. 29, 2008 in Huntington. The Herd is looking for its first win at Ted Constant Convocation Center (0-5).
