Looking Back:
On Wednesday, March 11, the No. 8 Marshall Thundering Herd defeated the No. 9 Southern Miss Golden Eagles 71-67 in overtime in the first round of the 2020 Conference USA Women’s Basketball Tournament. The Herd was scheduled to take on the No. 1 Rice Owls in the quarterfinals on Thursday, March 12 at 11 a.m. CT/12 p.m. ET. The Herd’s win over the Golden Eagles was, however, the final game the Herd would play as COVID-19 took over the sports world in the following 24 hours.
As that game was approaching, the teams both arrived late to the Ford Center that day, and according to reports neither team had hit the floor at 11:30 a.
