Marshall’s James Kelly and the rest of the Thundering Herd can secure the No. 4 seed in next week’s Conference USA basketball tournament with a win against Southern Miss on Saturday or a loss by Old Dominion against Rice.
HUNTINGTON — The last thing Marshall wants to do is get in a game of “can you top that?” in its regular-season finale Saturday night.
In many ways, the Thundering Herd could use a not-so-exciting, routine victory over downtrodden Southern Mississippi. Tipoff at Cam Henderson Center is at 7 p.m.
The Herd needs a win for a bye to the quarterfinals of the Conference USA tournament next week in Birmingham, Alabama.
