While Marshall University men’s basketball team is in a three-team tie for the second-best in-conference record (11-5), one stat the Herd is running away with this season is 3-point shots made.
In 29 games, the Herd has knocked down 290 3-pointers. After Marshall, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has made the second most with 236 in 29 games. The University of Southern Mississippi is third in the conference with 232 in 27 games.
Junior guard Austin Loop leads the Herd with 72 made 3-pointers, which ranks fifth in C-USA.
Loop said while the team is not concerned about how many 3-pointers it knocks down, he enjoys the idea of the team’s success being controlled by the players.
