WKU rallies to defeat Marshall

Western Kentucky sent an over-capacity E.A. Diddle Arena into hysterics Saturday night, scoring the last 15 points of the game to pull out an 85-74 home victory over Marshall. The Hilltoppers (15-6 overall, 7-1 Conference USA) trailed 74-70 with 4:39 remaining. Senior guard Darius Thompson led WKU with 20 points and six rebounds, and senior forward Dwight Coleby recorded his ninth double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds. The Hilltoppers return to action Thursday night at UTEP.
