HAVE YOU HERD
The Thundering Herd downed Louisiana Tech on Saturday, 83-79, in overtime to sweep the home weekend slate.
 
It was MU's first overtime game this season.
 
Junior guard Jarrod West poured a career-high 25 points into the basket in the win, while junior forward Mikel Beyers scored a career-high 24 points in the contest.
 
The Herd came back from a 12-point deficit, its largest deficit overcome this season. It overcame being outrebounded, out scored in the paint and committing three more turnovers than the Bulldogs.
 
Coming into the contest on Thursday night, Marshall can finish anywhere from the third to first pod in bonus play.
 
It clinches a spot in at least pod two with a win at UTSA or a UTEP home loss to WKU on Thursday.
 
SCOUTING UTSA
The Roadrunners enter Thursday's contest with 11-14 record, 5-7 in Conference USA action.
 
UTSA is led by Jhivvan Jackson. Jackson is averaging 27 points per game which ranks second in Division I men's basketball behind Marquette's Markus Howard's 27.4 points per game. The guard is making 42.6 percent of his shots from the field and is second on the team in assists (66), rebounds (149) and steals (35).
 
Keaton Wallace is second on the team in scoring with 19 points per game while leading the Roadrunners in assists and steals with 77 and 37, respectively.
