The WKU men’s basketball team (14-6, 7-1 C-USA) picked up a Conference USA series sweep over Marshall (9-12, 3-5 C-USA) on Saturday night, as the Hilltoppers secured Game 2 in the hardwood edition of the Moonshine Throwdown with a solid 91-84 victory in Diddle Arena.
WKU was able to reach a five-game winning streak with a win in the second clash between the Hilltopper and Thundering Herd basketball programs in a four-day span.
The Hilltoppers were forced to rally from a 19-point deficit in the first half to defeat Marshall 64-60 on Wednesday in Huntington, West Virginia, but WKU led by as many 14 points in its fifth straight victory in league play on Saturday in Bowling Green.
