Red-hot Marshall basketball team shoots down UTEP Miners, 88-79
A poorly as matters have gone for the Marshall men's basketball team in Conference USA play, the Thundering Herd can score. That will always give them a puncher's chance.
They punched out the Miners 88-79 Sunday, at one point making 13 of 15 shots against a UTEP team that at times didn't offer much resistance.
A two-game losing streak on the heels of a six-game winning streak dropped the Miners to 7-5 in Conference USA while Marshall improved to 2-10. Marshall won despite gifting UTEP eight points on four taunting technical fouls that followed made baskets.
