HUNTINGTON – DeAndre Kane disproved a basketball axiom on Wednesday night.

You really don’t have to shoot to score big.

On a team hungry for victory, Kane’s playmaking was the difference as Marshall outlasted Rice in a Conference USA battle, 71-70, at the Henderson Center.

Until the junior guard turned a right-side screen-and-go with big man Nigel Spikes into a three-point play with an and-one conversion with 34 seconds left, Kane was 1-for-2 from the floor.

The 6-foot-4 guard from Pittsburgh could have passed Basketball Hall of Famer and Herd legend Hal Greer for 19th place on the school’s career scoring list with a nine-point night. Instead, Kane scored only five, to go with 10 assists and four rebounds in 40 minutes.
