HUNTINGTON, W. Va. – Middle Tennessee fought tooth and nail to the very end with a high-octane Marshall squad Saturday evening, but dropped its third consecutive nail biter – each to the three teams picked as the Top 3 in Conference USA's preseason poll – by a final score of 98-93.
The loss came despite a pair of career days as Antonio Green poured in 31 points and Reggie Scurry added 24 points and nine rebounds, each setting career highs for scoring.
Donovan Sims pitched in 12 points and six rebounds while Karl Gamble collected his third career double-double with 11 points and 10 boards.
