Head coach Dan D'Antoni became the fourth coach in Marshall men's basketball program history to reach 100 career wins on Monday in a win at Morehead State.
Redshirt freshman Andrew Taylor made his Thundering Herd debut in the contest scoring 13 points and adding three rebounds, steals and assists to his stat line.
Junior Jarrod West's eight assists were a career-high for the guard.
The win was just the third at Morehead since 1995 and the Herd's first road win of the season.
Marshall's 11 turnovers are tied with 11 at Florida on Nov. 29 for the fewest in a game this season.
The Herd's 10 made three-pointers are tied for the most in a game this season with the 10 made at Toledo on Dec. 8.
MU's 37 percent shooting night from three-point range is the best this season.
The last time Marshall had five players with 10 or more points was on Jan. 19. 2019, in a home win over FIU, before the win at MSU.
SCOUTING EASTERN KENTUCKY
The Colonels are led by second-year head coach and Marshall alumnus A.W. Hamilton as they have a 3-7 record to this point in the season.
