HUNTINGTON — “The Road” is what Coach Greg White called it when he was leading Herd basketball, including the emphasis and the capital letters as if it was a living, breathing thing.
Going on the road had not been a real strength for the Marshall men’s basketball team since joining Conference USA in 2005, going just 23-57 through last year when Marshall was 1-8 away from Huntington (winning at Southern Miss last January), was 10-31 over the past five seasons on the road in league play and had lost five C-USA games in a row on the road back to last season.
