ATLANTA, Ga. – The Marshall University Men's Basketball Team (11-6, 3-2 SBC) suffered an 81-73 defeat to the Georgia State Panthers in Atlanta on Saturday.
"Kudos to Georgia State. They won a game that they deserved to win. We didn't deserve to win it. Too many mistakes, too many mental errors, too many fouls," Herd Men's Basketball Head Coach Cornelius 'Corny' Jackson said.
Wyatt Fricks finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks, registering his first double-double of the season. Landen Joseph finished with a 15-point effort as Noah Otshudi added 11 points. Jalen Speer recorded a game-high eight assists.
Marshall and Georgia State were deadlocked at 38 at halftime. The Herd surged ahead with a 10-0 spurt early in the second half, highlighted by a fast-break dunk from Fricks off a steal, making it 61-49 with just over 10 minutes to play.
The Panthers made 33 of 39 attempts from the charity stripe, compared to Marshall's 13-for-22 night. Jelani Hamilton led the hosts with a game-high 23 points. Jakai Newton's three-pointer with under a minute left pushed the lead to six and sealed the contest for the Panthers.

Marshall returns to the Cam Henderson Center to start a four-game homestand beginning Wednesday night against Coastal Carolina.
