With 59 seconds left in its opening game of the Conference USA tournament, the Marshall women’s basketball team led Louisiana Tech by three points, but the Lady Techsters scored five straight points, aided by a bad Marshall turnover, to win 50-48 Wednesday afternoon in Frisco, Texas.
Even with the critical errors by Herd players in the last 13 seconds of the contest, Marshall had a chance to send the game to overtime.
With two seconds left on the clock, senior forward Taylor Pearson drove to the hole and put up a runner at the buzzer that was no good.
