Men’s Basketball Falls in SBC Tournament Against Texas State

Three-seeded Marshall lost to eleven-seeded Texas State 71-68 in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

“I want to congratulate Texas State. I thought they played an outstanding ballgame,” Marshall head coach Dan D’Antoni said. “They hit key shots when they had to. They played extremely well, and we wish them the best of luck.”

Taevion Kinsey came into the game needing 16 points to take over Jon Elmore as the all-time leading scorer in Marshall’s history. He broke Elmore’s 2,358-point record with 7:25 remaining in the game.

“(Taevion) has given me five great years, and it’s a special time,” D’Antoni said.
