HUNTINGTON — It will be several more years of tough study before Terrence Thompson reaches his professional goal of doctor, but it appears he’s already written the right prescription in a Marshall basketball uniform.
To say that Thompson’s first month with the Herd was underwhelming would be a good diagnosis. The 6-foot-7 sophomore played only 42 minutes in Marshall’s first 10 games, scoring six points to go with 12 rebounds.
Then, Coach Dan D’Antoni’s team went to Las Vegas for the Global Sports Classic on Dec. 21-22.
Thompson hit it big just off The Strip, starting the kind of play he’s continued in a 2-0 Conference USA start by the Herd (6-9).
