\nHUNTINGTON, W. VA. (WMUL-FM) – Marshall women\u2019s basketball is still in search of its first Sun Belt Conference victory of the 2024-25 campaign as it begins a four-game homestand Wednesday against James Madison.<\/p>\n

The Thundering Herd have dropped its last five games to start conference play. Four of the first five games were played away from the Cam Henderson Center; a place that the Thundering Herd have had more success than failure this season.<\/p>\n

Marshall looks to capitalize on its extended stay in Huntington and create momentum to help its efforts once it must travel once again. Marshall\u2019s overall record is 5-11. The Thundering Herd is 4-3 at home, 0-7 on the road, and 1-1 while playing at neutral sites.<\/p>\n

The Dukes have had the exact opposite season as the Thundering Herd. James Madison sits atop the Sun Belt Conference rankings with an undefeated 5-0 record. With that, the Dukes are currently on a five-game winning streak and look to continue that streak against a struggling Marshall team. James Madison\u2019s record heading into Wednesday\u2019s matchup is 13-4 with a 5-2 record on the road this season.<\/p>\n

Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at the Cam Henderson Center with live coverage on WMUL-FM 88.1 and online at www.marshall.edu\/WMUL<\/a>. Pregame coverage begins at 5:30 p.m. FM88 Sports Nate Courtney and Connor Brown will have the call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
