Bassey, Anderson lead WKU over Marshall to begin the weekend series

WKU (10-4), (3-2, C-USA) defeated the Marshall Thundering Herd (7-3), (1-2, C-USA) in a high scoring affair 81-73 with a career high night from junior Charles Bassey and a season-high performance from senior Josh Anderson.

“I thought we were more player driven [tonight] – accepting responsibility and talking and communicating,” head coach Rick Stansbury said. “Us coaches, we can't play the game, we gotta get a little bit out of everybody, and I do think that was better tonight.”

Before the game, Anderson was recognized for being the 51st player to reach 1,000 career points in the program’s history.
