HUNTINGTON — There are a few certainties with modern-day Marshall basketball. The ball is going to whip around so fast it will make you dizzy. And the 3-pointers are going up — after Saturday’s games, the Herd has attempted at least 152 more than other Conference USA team.
And good inside games will give the Thundering Herd trouble. Take the 7-2 Herd’s two losses, to Charlotte and the gut-punch setback Saturday against Alabama-Birmingham.
At Charlotte, Joseph Ochebo struck for 24 points and 21 rebounds, eight on the offensive end. It could have been worse for the Herd — his 11-of-23 from the floor included six missed layups.
