Men’s basketball prepares for season opener

The Marshall University men’s basketball team is one week away from its 2020-21 season opener against Coppin State Wednesday, Nov. 25. Two days later, the team will play another home game Friday, Nov. 27 against Tennessee State.

Marshall head coach Dan D’Antoni said the Herd is focused on continuing to get better to prepare for its first two home games and for the entire season while focusing on COVID-19 safety precautions and protocols.

“Just start,” D’Antoni said. “We’re going to crowd everything together to go for the 25th opener. The biggest part is conditioning. Then it’s the synchronization between the players and to make the decisions between the players.
