Men’s basketball rides defense to defeat WV Wesleyan

Marshall senior guard Rondale Watson elevates through WV Wesleyan defenders for a finger roll layup. Watson scores nine points with five rebounds and two assists in the contest.

The Marshall men’s basketball team defeated West Virginia Wesleyan 83-65 Thursday at the Cam Henderson Center in its final exhibition game of the season.

“I thought the energy all around was a lot better,” senior guard Jon Elmore said. “We gave up about half as many points as we gave up last game. I think we got better and that was our goal with these two games—to see where we stood and see what we need to improve on.
