Marshall men’s basketball is currently in its worst season since 2015, a time when Drake had just released Hotline Bling and Marshall’s all-time leading scorer, Jon Elmore, was in his first season with Marshall.
Despite a win against Southern Miss on Monday night, the Herd sits at 11-17 on the season heading into March. With another loss, Marshall would fall to the lowest point in head coach Dan D’Antoni’s time at Marshall since his first season as coach in 2014, a season where the Herd ultimately finished 12-21.
When thinking about Marshall basketball, the past few years of storylines have largely centered around either Taevion Kinsey or Elmore, two players within the top ten of points scored in Marshall history.
