Junior Guard Jon Elmore shoots a 3-pointer around an FIU defender. Elmore's shooting from beyond the arc is a staple in Marshall's offense.
Marshall men’s basketball (16-8, 7-4 C-USA) edged the FIU Panthers (11-4, 5-7 C-USA) 76-66 Thursday night at the Cam Henderson Center.
“It was an ugly win,” junior guard Jon Elmore said. “I thought we struggled a bit here and there, but we pieced together a win. I thought we played hard, defended solid and got out of there with a win.”
The trio of Elmore, junior guard C.J. Burks and junior forward Ajdin Penava led the Herd on offense.
