Herd opens conference play next week at Southern Miss
Box Score
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Marshall Thundering Herd lost a tight-affair at Wake Forest, 66-59 Thursday afternoon in North Carolina.
The Demon Deacons finished the game on a 10-3 run over the final 3:13 to take what was the final game before both teams enter Sun Belt Conference and ACC play respectively next week.
"Yeah that was tough, we didn't do very well down the stretch," Coach Kim Caldwell said. "We got out hustled a lot of times and we will fix that, shot selection was not great either down the stretch. There were a lot of good things that we can fix going into conference play."

Marshall led by as much as nine early in a game which featured 10 lead changes. The Herd never trailed by more than a possession until the final minute of the game
