Marshall was looking to get back into the in column after two losses to Indiana and No. 23 Kentucky, while Salem was trying to break a 20-game losing streak going back to last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It would be close early in the game, but Marshall pulled away away to a 22-9 lead at the end of the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The second would be the same as Marshall would score 26 points to Salem&#8217;s 6 and make the score 55-15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The second half was the exact same story. Marshall scored 24 and 26 points in each quarter as Salem would only score 16 points the rest of the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Both sides of the ball for Marshall were stellar. Offensively, Marshall shot 54% from the field, its best of the year. Marshall had tits best game from beyond the arc as well, shooting 33% and making 9, both highs for this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">On defense, it was pure dominance for the Herd. Marshall forced 39 turnovers, which broke the previous record for most turnovers by a team in a single game, which was 36 entering the matchup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The 74-point victory is Marshall&#8217;s largest win since the 2016-2017 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Marshall had seven players reach double figures in points. Timaya Lewis-Eutsey scored 17 points on 6-for-10 shooting.

Tip-off will be at noon.<\/p>\n<p>You can tune into to Friday&#8217;s game on 88.1 WMUL-FM and online at Stream 1 on www.marshall.edu\/wmul.
