BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Marshall is now 2-0 this year against Old Dominion where Dan D’Antoni has been allowed to coach the entire game.
As a result, the Thundering Herd is back in the Conference USA tournament semifinals for the second straight year.
Jon Elmore hit the first of two free throws with 2.9 seconds left, giving the No. 6-seeded Herd a 64-63 win over the third-seeded Monarchs in a quarterfinal matchup at Legacy Arena.
He missed the second one. Even though it took six-tenths of a second off the clock before ODU called timeout, he insisted it wasn’t on purpose.
