rebounds to help lead Buffalo to a 78-65 win over Marshall
Thursday.
Turner Battle added 20 points and nine rebounds and Calvin Cage
chipped in 18 points, including five 3-pointers, as Buffalo (12-5,
5-4 Mid-American Conference) won for the third time in four games
and improving to 8-1 at home.
The Thundering Herd (3-14, 0-8) led 50-43 after Joe Miles hit a
3-pointer with 13:53 to go, but saw their lead quickly evaporate
when they went scoreless during an eight-minute span.
The Bulls were able to put the game away with a 17-0 run during
the Marshall drought, capped by Battle's two free throws with 57.6
seconds left that gave them a 71-58 lead.
Miles had 14 points, and A.W. Hamilton and Ronny Dawn each
contributed 13 points for Marshall, which lost for the fourth
straight time.
The Thundering Herd have not won on the road this season.
