Another player making a difference was Liam Curry, who had six points and five rebounds.
As for O'Connor, they now have a winning record of 15-14. The final result isn't all that surprising considering their considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 156th, while Marshall is ranked 634th).
