HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall men's basketball dropped its contest to the College of Charleston on Thursday night, 76-66, at the Cam Henderson Center.
Sophomore guard Taevion Kinsey led the Herd in points for the third straight game with 13 points. He went 5-for-11 from the field with seven rebounds and two steals.
Junior guard Jarrod West scored 12 points, while redshirt junior forward Jannson Williams and junior forward Mikel Beyers each contributed 11 points. Williams added seven rebounds and six blocks, while Beyers went 8-for-8 from the charity stripe.
Redshirt sophomore Iran Bennett scored nine points and added a team-best eight rebounds in the loss.
Marshall held the lead for a good portion of the first eight minutes of the game extending its lead to a game-high seven points when Kinsey made a free-throw at the 12:13 mark as the Herd lead 19-12.
However, Cougars guard Grant Riller helped his team to a 10-0 run, in which he scored nine of the points, to put the Herd at a 22-19 deficit halfway through the first half.
Marshall regained the lead with seven minutes remaining in the half, but ultimately CofC tied the game right before the break, 35-35.
In the second half, the contest was tied 14:40 left, but the Cougars took the lead at the 13:48 mark and didn't relinquish it the rest of the way as they won by a 10-point margin.
Riller led Charleston with 22 points on a 9-for-12 shooting night from the field. The guard also had a game-high four steals, three rebounds and two assists.
Jaylen McManus fell one rebound shy of a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds for CofC.
NOTES
Williams' six blocks are tied for 16th-most in a game in program history. He moved into ninth all-time in program history with 113 career blocks, passing Mark Patton's 111.
Marshall out rebounded Charleston 43-37 and outscored the Cougars in second-chance points 22-2.
Each team had eight assists in the contest.

Marshall looks to get back in the win column on Thursday night when it plays host to Howard at 8 p.m. at the Cam Henderson Center.
