Marshall University’s men’s basketball team overtook the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 87-72, Thursday at the Cam Henderson Center.

The 49ers (10-16) defeated the Herd (14-12) Jan. 21 to end Marshall’s then five-game winning streak.

“They kind of whooped up on us the first time,” sophomore guard Jon Elmore said. “We weren’t really focused and the offense was stagnant. I feel like we really came together tonight and got some sweet revenge.”

Elmore, who landed four 3-pointers, was the second leading scorer for the Herd with 14 points and added four rebounds as well.
