Marshall (4-4, 0-0) overcame a 13 point second half defect at
Vanderbilt (5-3, 0-0) to bring the game within reach on its final possession. Trailing
67-69 with nine seconds left on the clock, Kareem Canty charged into the lane,
but he was met Commodores forward James Siakam who prevented the Herd’s point
guard from getting off a shot. No foul was called on the play and Marshall left
Memorial Gymnasium with its second loss in a row.
Canty lead the Thundering Herd with 18 points. He also
registered four assist and turnovers. Receiving his first career start in place
of Ryan Taylor, forward TyQuane Goard scored nine points and grabbed five
rebounds. Taylor watched the game from the bench in street clothes. During his
postgame press conference head coach Tom Herrion offered no explanation for
Taylor’s absence.
Marshall returns to the hardwood tomorrow at Penn State, tip-off
is set for 4 p.m. ET.
