Herd lets one get away
Missed free throws costly as UTEP gets first C-USA road win

HUNTINGTON - Marshall's free-throw maladies gave Texas-El Paso's Stefon Jackson a chance to shine the brightest in front of his family and friends.

Playing the closest he'll come to his Philadelphia home this season, Conference USA's leading scorer hit the go-ahead shot with 10.7 seconds left in UTEP's 79-76 victory over Marshall Wednesday night. Those were the final two of his 28 points, about five above his average.

A crowd of 4,638 at Cam Henderson Center saw the Thundering Herd's three-game winning streak snapped as the Miners won their first league road game.
