Virginia vs. Marshall Basketball: THE BIG PREVIEW
The Virginia Cavaliers are back on the basketball court on New Year’s Eve with one final non-conference game before opening the ACC season next Saturday. This game, against Conference USA’s Marshall Thundering Herd, will help Virginia get ready for some of the up-tempo teams in the ACC.
Marshall is coached by Dan D’Antoni, the brother of Houston Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni. If you aren’t familiar with the D’Antoni family, they are the creators of the “7 seconds or less offense”. This was the offense that Mike ran as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns with Steve Nash and company. The D’Antoni brothers both played at Marshall and are both in the Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame.
