Marshall basketball coach Dan D'Antoni says 100 points per game is possible
Marshall scored 92 points per game in Conference USA games under second-year coach Dan D’Antoni, who thinks the Herd can score at a higher clip this season.
On its way to being the surprise team of Conference USA last season, Marshall scored 92 points per game in league play.
Third-year coach Dan D’Antoni wouldn’t mind seeing that go up, and he said so Tuesday at the league’s media tipoff in Irving, Texas.
“I think we can go over 100 points,” he said. “But I told them the only way we can score 100 points is defensively we’ve got to be a lot better. We’ve got to cause havoc on the [opponent’s] offensive end, take it down and have quick baskets from our defense.”
