Herd men’s basketball tops EKU, wins third straight game

The Marshall University men’s basketball team picked up its third straight win over the Eastern Kentucky University Colonels on Thursday evening at the Cam Henderson Center, with a final score of 90-72.

Marshall improved to 5-6 on the season while Eastern Kentucky dropped to 5-6.

This marks Herd Head Coach Dan D’Antoni’s 101st win.

“I thought we played well,” D’Antoni said. “Came out a little shaky and didn’t make shots. Basketball is a game of making shots, and you got to make shots. I thought we had good looks. We started to settle down. The good thing about this year is when we shot so poorly, we’re down eight instead of 18, and that’s because we can defend.
