The Marshall Thundering Herd women’s basketball team will travel to El Paso, Texas to face off against the University of Texas at El Paso in the first of a two-game stretch on the road that will see the Herd take on two Conference USA rivals in the Lone Star State.
Marshall head coach Tony Kemper said that the Herd needs to play better defense in Texas.
“Against Southern Mississippi, (USM) shot well over 50 percent in the field and that is too easy.” Kemper said on Tuesday. “We need to go back to playing tough defense, forcing tough shots and then rebounding.
