Mitch Vingle: MU hoops has become a terrific story
Marshall’s Ryan Taylor celebrates after making a shot and getting the foul against Middle Tennessee Thursday evening in Huntington.HUNTINGTON — Are you guys getting this?
I’m asking all of you, whether you live in Charleston, Barboursville or Los Angeles.
The story that’s unfolded, I mean, at Marshall University.
The school’s basketball season wasn’t just dead not too long ago, it was in rigor mortis. Same with the program. Same with the head coach’s career.
Yet now, someway, somehow, Marshall is in first place within Conference USA. The Thundering Herd drubbed former second-place Middle Tennessee here Thursday by 82-66 and moved to 7-1 in league play — the same as UAB, which visits Saturday.
