Marshall Thundering Herd Basketball Tickets

Six wins. Twenty-two losses. Three starters gone. If anything, this might be a good time for Marshall to take a step back, perhaps re-evaluate its situation and plan for the future. Instead, the Thundering Herd are being thrust into a new league, a tougher conference than the MAC, which is going to be a challenge for third-year coach Ron Jirsa.
The good news? Jirsa has coached in the SEC, so he won't be intimidated by the move to Conference USA.
The bad news? Compared to many programs in the league, Marshall is severely outmanned, especially considering leading scorer A.W. Hamilton is finished with his college career.
The only returnees who averaged even 20 minutes per contest last season are Mark Pat-ton, Tre Whitted and Joe Miles. Patton could be one of die better post players in the league, evidence being his 11.0 points and 8.1 rebounds per game as a j unior. But die real tiling to watch widi this team is Miles, and whether he can regain some of die success he had last November and December.
A 5' 11" guard, Miles was the only freshman in the nation last season to score double-figures in his first 12 games, going for a career-high 21 against Central Michigan. But after that, he mosdy struggled, and reached the 10-point plateau only once in his final 16 outings.
So which Miles will show up this year? The guy who scored at will, or the one who didn't make more tlian three shots in any of the last 11 games?
Figure out the answer to that question, and it'll be easier to determine whedier Marshall can avoid another record-setting season for losses.
