After another Covid-19 break, Marshall and North Texas head back to the court for this weekend for a showdown in Huntington between two of Conference USA’s top teams.
The Herd and Mean Green meet Friday night at 7 pm and Saturday afternoon at 2 pm in the Cam Henderson Center. Friday’s game is being shown nationally on ESPNU, while Saturday’s game will be shown on Fox Sports regional networks.
Marshall (12-5, 6-4) was supposed to play a league series last weekend at Rice, but that series was cancelled to Covid-19 issues in the Owls program. Covid issues with North Texas (12-6, 8-2) meant the Mean Green could not play its series last weekend at Western Kentucky.

HUNTINGTON – F
ans of hard-nosed, low-scoring football will probably enjoy Friday Night’s Conference USA Football Championship Game as East Division champion Marshall hosts West Division champ UAB at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
UAB (5-3, 3-1) earned its spot in Friday’s game with a 21-16 win last Saturday at Rice. Marshall (7-1, 4-1) had a game with Charlotte set for last weekend cancelled due to injuries and Covid-19 cases in the MU program. The Herd’s last game was on December 5th, a 20-0 home loss to Rice.
