The Herd lost to the Georgia State Panthers 55-54 in a close contest Saturday night.
Marshall lost by two points to Georgia Southern on Thursday as well; the Herd had an opportunity to win in the last play of its previous three games.
“Tonight, I didn’t think our intensity was very good for 40 minutes,” Coach Tony Kemper said when asked about the closeness of the last two games.
The last time these two teams met at the Cam Henderson Center, Marshall won by five, which added to its historic six-game win streak.
The Herd scored nine points in the first quarter while allowing the Panthers to score 19.
