Marshall trying to avenge its home lost from earlier this month against the Blue Raiders, fell short in Murfreesboro as the Herd allowed nine points in the final 60 seconds of the ballgame.
With a minute remaining in the game, the game was tied at 61. Middle Tennessee’s Josh Jefferson would drain a clutch three-pointer expanding the Blue Raiders lead to three points. After a foul by Donovan Sims of Middle Tennessee, Marshall would respond with two free throws from Taevion Kinsey.
Kinsey would score Marshall’s last basket of the evening with 25 seconds remaining. However, Marshall was not able to get the ball back in the net for the remainder of the night.
