Much like the old coach’s adage says, defense wins championships.
Had last Sunday’s exhibition game against the University of Charleston been a championship game, the Marshall Thundering Herd men’s basketball team very well could have lost, thanks to their first half defense.
The Herd would ultimately get the win, thanks to an explosive second half, but it was not a simple win by any means.
The victory may have not come as easy as the Herd had hoped, but the team was happy to record the win nonetheless and begin preparations for the upcoming season.
“We knew that was going to happen, UC’s a good team,” Browning said.
