The Lady Raiders (16-9, 11-3) lead the all-time series by a 6-0 margin, including a 72-63 victory at Marshall (12-12, 4-9) earlier this season.
A valiant rally fell short Thursday night in Murphy Center, as MT dropped an 82-75 decision to WKU. Trailing by as much as 11 in the second-half, MT claimed a lead before the Lady Toppers surged late to take the top spot in the C-USA standings. Alex Johnson poured in 33 points, while Ty Petty and Abbey Sissom added 17 and 14, respectively.
Marshall enters Murfreesboro after a 71-55 setback at UAB Thursday. Shayna Gore paces the Herd offense with 17.2 points per game. Kiana Evans and Talequia Hamilton also add double-digit figures per night with 12.4 and 11.6, respectively.
Play from behind the arc keys to be a factor for Saturday. Marshall stands second in the league in 3-point percentage defense (.296), while the Lady Raiders rank No. 2 in C-USA in 3-point field goal percentage (.359).
