The Marshall University men’s basketball team will play the University of Southern Mississippi 7 p.m. Saturday in its regular season finale.
With a victory the Herd (15-15, 11-6) would lock up the fourth seed in the Conference USA Tournament and achieve a bye in the tournament’s opening round, which starts Wednesday in Birmingham Alabama.
However, after a heartbreaking loss Thursday where Marshall lost on a half-court buzzer-beater to Louisiana Tech University, 97-94, the team is on a three-game losing streak heading into the contest.
Despite the recent skid, members of the team said they are confident the team can get back on track before the conference tournament, where the group said it has big plans.
