HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Never fear, Marshall fans. Your team is going to play offense.
On Thursday.
Yes, that’s the night in which the Thundering Herd’s basketball team presents itself to paying customers for the first time this season, taking on West Virginia State in an exhibition game at Cam Henderson Center.
Tipoff is early, at 6 p.m. The first basket will be early, too — perhaps 6:00:10 if the Herd wins the tip.
As I think about coach Dan D’Antoni’s sometimes-dizzying offense, I’m wondering if offensive coordinator Bill Legg shouldn’t just order up some “NASCAR tempo” for the rest of the football season.
