HUNTINGTON — It’s not quite worst-to-first. But it’s definitely worse-to-first.

Yet, Coach Dan D’Antoni’s second Herd team went to bed Thursday night with a share of the league lead, and now the club that shares the top spot with Marshall — defending C-USA Tournament champ and 2015-16 preseason favorite UAB (17-4, 7-1) — comes to the Henderson Center for a Saturday noon tip.
