Men’s Basketball Defeats Troy on Senior Night, Clinches Top-Four Seed in SBC Tournament

Marshall defeated Troy 88-78 on Senior Night.

This was the Herd’s last regular-season home game, and the win locked up a double-bye and a top-four seed in Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

Marshall honored Taevion Kinsey, Gordan Miladinovic, Andrew Taylor and graduate Assistant Stephen Galgano for the Senior Night ceremony.

“It feels good to walk into the tournament and be one of those top teams, but it puts a target on your back. You’ve got to be ready,” Kinsey said about the win.

Marshall jumped to a 7-0 lead less than two minutes into the game and never allowed Troy to gain control.
