Huntington, WV (WOAY) – The threat of severe weather has forced Marshall University to cancel Saturday’s scheduled men’s basketball game.
The Thundering Herd has moved the home contest against South Alabama to Monday, February 16, 2026, according to a media release from Marshall athletics.
“We want to thank everyone who worked tirelessly to prepare for Saturday’s game, particularly after adjusting the original tip time to help mitigate potential weather-related risks for our spectators and student-athletes, and to accommodate South Alabama’s travel concerns,” said Gerald Harrison, Marshall Vice President and Director of Athletics. “Following continued discussions with the Sun Belt Conference and South Alabama, the decision was made to postpone the game until Feb. 16 at the Cam.
“While we recognize the challenges presented by the situation, this rescheduling does create a demanding stretch later in the season for our program, including four games in eight days, which is not ideal for the student-athlete experience. Coach Jackson and our Thundering Herd will use this additional preparation time to sharpen our focus and be ready for the challenge ahead as we prepare to travel to Texas State on Wednesday.”
All tickets for Saturday’s postponed game will be valid for the Feb. 16 contest against South Alabama. If you have physical tickets, please hang on to those for use at that game. If you have digital tickets, those will update automatically. Please call 800-THE-HERD with any questions.
In additional Marshall Athletics scheduling news, Marshall’s scheduled Swim & Dive meet for 9:30 a.m. on Saturday against Toledo will continue as scheduled at Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium after confirmation by Toledo officials on Friday morning.
