Marshall defeated James Madison 92-83 Wednesday Night.
With the win and Old Dominion defeating Southern Miss, Marshall is back in first place in the Sun Belt Conference.
“The winner tonight was the fans. It was a helluva game,” Herd men’s basketball head coach Dan D’Antoni said. “It was a fun game to spectate and a fun game to coach. We got the breaks towards the end of the game with two games so closely matched, and you get a run towards the end of the game like that, you win.”
The high-scoring back-and-forth contest had almost 20 lead changes, and no team led by more than six points for the 38-plus minutes of the game, and both teams combined for 103 points in the first half.
