The Thundering Herd men’s basketball team will wrap up its regular season Saturday in North Carolina when they face the East Carolina Pirates.

The Herd improved to 13-17 overall and 6-9 in Conference USA play with its 88-84 win against Southern Miss, Tuesday, which was as action packed as a Bruce Willis feature film. The Pirates stand at 17-11 overall and 8-7 in C-USA.

Marshall has not won consecutive games since a three game streak, November 24 through December 1. The last winning stretch was played against non-conference teams Nevada, Morehead State and UNC Wilmington.

ECU has had success at home this season, posting a 12-4 record in Greenville, N.C. Marshall is 1-10 on the road this season, with the lone win coming recently against rival UCF.
