YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Marshall Men's Basketball (1-3) dropped its contest Saturday afternoon on the road at Youngstown State (2-2) by a 74-71 scoreline.
After MU led by as much as 11 in the second half, a 23-5 YSU run eventually led to the Herd being down 12 with 5:27 remaining. Coach Cornelius 'Corny' Jackson's Herd would fight back with a pair of Bryce Slay free throws to tie the game at 69 with just over a minute remaining. Free throws and a crucial score late for the Penguins was enough to seal the victory for the hosts.
