The Marshall University men’s basketball team is set to take on Louisiana Tech University 7 p.m. Thursday at the Cam Henderson Center in a game that has major implications on the Herd’s seeding heading into the conference tournament next week.
Marshall has an 11-5 record in conference play, putting it in a tie with Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee State University for second place in the conference standings.
If the Herd win Thursday and pick up a victory Saturday in the team’s regular season finale against the University of Southern Mississippi, it will earn the number two seed in the conference tournament putting a lot at stake in the final two games of the season.
