MTSU men beat Marshall for C-USA championship

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - MTSU's men were the class of Conference USA all season and it showed Saturday, as the Blue Raiders took down Marshall 83-72 to claim their second straight C-USA Tournament at Legacy Arena.

The USA Today Coaches Poll No. 25 Blue Raiders completed a season sweep of the C-USA regular-season and tournament championships and became the fourth school in Conference USA history to register 30 wins in a season.

"Marshall played at such a high level," MTSU coach Kermit Davis said. "It was just a really exciting, fun game to watch. It's quite an honor to get 30 wins and go back to the NCAA Tournament.
