HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall men's basketball looks to compete a home stand sweep on Saturday night when it takes on the UTSA Roadrunners at the Cam Henderson Center.
HAVE YOU HERD
Marshall is 6-0 when scoring 90 or more points this season.
Jon Elmore now has 2,332 points for his career. That mark ties him with John Taft for second-most in program history and he is seven points away from eclipsing UTEP's Randy Culpepper for second-most in Conference USA history.
Elmore is the first player in program history to reach 300 made three-pointers in a career as he now has 302.
With West's five steal game, he now has 110 takeaways for his career. The mark is tied for 21st most in program history with Calton King and Malik Hightower and is one away from cracking the top 20.
Jannson Williams has blocked 75 shots in his career with the Herd. He moved past J.R. VanHoose for 14th all-time as VanHoose had 74.
The 44 points by Elmore is the first game by a Marshall player with at least 40 points since DeAndre Kane dropped 40 against Tulsa on March 8, 2012.
Elmore becomes just the seventh Herd player in program history score at least 44 points in a game joining Keith Veney, Bunny Gibson, George Stone, Ronald Blackshear, Walt Walowac and Skip Henderson. Henderson did so three times and Walowac twice.
Williams' eight blocks rank tied for eighth in program history.
