BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Just yesterday, after the Marshall University Thundering Herd’s men and women won games in the Conference USA Tournament, checking the records showed that Marshall meeting Middle Tennessee in both semifinals was a first for the 21-year old tourney.
If that was true, then an all Middle Tennessee versus Old Dominion in both the men’s and women’s finals must also be a first for two championship games for C-USA.
Much like the women earlier in the day in their loss to the Blue Raiders, the Herd men could not get going against the Blue Raiders either on offense or defense as Middle shot 59% from the field, 46.
