Men’s Basketball Completes Comeback Against Georgia Southern

Men’s basketball completed an 11-point comeback with 90 seconds left to defeat Georgia Southern 84-83 Thursday night.

“I thought we managed the game towards the end the way it should be managed,” Herd men’s basketball head coach Dan D’Antoni said.

Marshall struggled in the first half at the three-point mark, making just one of 10 attempted threes. The team also shot 8-23 from the field. Georgia Southern led 38-27 at the break.

In the second half, Georgia Southern led every step of the way until the last 14 seconds of the game.

At the 1:36 mark, Georgia Southern led 79-68, and then Marshall went on a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to just one point with 44 seconds remaining.
