The Thundering Word: Kelly’s 20-20 Provides Vision for Herd Triumph

HUNTINGTON — On Friends of Coal Night at the Cam Henderson Center, Marshall wore black uniforms for a basketball home game Thursday.

The dominating hue, however, was unquestionably Kelly.

Herd senior James Kelly turned in a game for the ages, in what was his 13th double-double of the season … by halftime. When the 6-foot-8 senior left the floor with 3:34 to play, he’d finished with 27 points and 23 rebounds as Marshall rolled to an 87-72 Conference USA victory over Charlotte.
