HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Jon Elmore scored 26 points and became the third player in Marshall history to reach 2,000 career points as the Thundering Herd stampeded past William & Mary, 84-64 on Wednesday night.

Elmore hit 7 of 16 from the floor, including 4 of 8 from distance, grabbed five rebounds, dished five assists and collected two steals. Burks contributed 16 points and grabbed six boards.
Paul Rowley scored 12 points off the bench for the Tribe (2-5).
