The Parthenon

The Marshall men’s basketball team will take the floor Thursday at 8 p.m. for the first time this season in an exhibition matchup against Bluefield College.

The contest was originally set for Monday evening, but was postponed due to inclement weather as a result of Superstorm Sandy.

The Rams of Bluefield College are an NAIA-1 program based out of Bluefield, Va. and are members of the Mid-South Conference. The Rams finished 19-16 last season and placed third in their conference.

There will be new faces putting on a Marshall jersey come 8 p.m. Thursday. Notable newcomers such as freshman Kareem Canty, transfers D.D. Scarver and Elijah Pittman will all be suiting up in kelly green for the first time of their careers.
