HUNTINGTON — Marshall basketball has a great history, back to the early days to this year’s team battling for the top in Conference USA in the 2016-17 season. The Herd, coincidentally, has had many of its best years in the seasons that have ended in 1997, 1987, 1967, 1957, 1947 and 1937. In fact, the Herd’s first documented game was in 1907.
Let’s look back at these great years, and let’s hope the current Marshall team under another former Herd player who had a lot of success in 1967 in Danny D’Antoni will give his three seniors — Ryan Taylor, Stevie Browning and Austin Loop — a ‘7’ year to remember.
