HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University men's basketball team hosted an intrasquad scrimmage on Tuesday night in preparation for the 2021-22 season, seeing 15 student-athletes take the court. Team White defeated Team Black 102-89.
"I thought the crowd was super with putting together a Green and White game early in the year," Marshall men's basketball head coach Dan D'Antoni said about the crowd who attended the scrimmage. "I thought we played and shot the ball well. I thought our three-point shooting was a little sloppy at the end, but we were pretty good from there for most of the game."
Team White
Senior guard Taevion Kinsey led Team White with 25 points and eight rebounds. The Columbus, Ohio, native went 11-for-19 from the field and added eight assists to his line.
Redshirt sophomore guard Andrew Taylor added 21 points and a team-high 11 assists for a double-double. Taylor made five of his six attempts from behind-the-arc in the first half.
Following up Kinsey and Taylor with 17 points was junior Goran Miladinovic. The center from Tivat, Montenegro, also brought down six boards and grabbed a team-high four steals as he shot 50 percent from the field (7-for-14).
Sophomore forward Obinna Anochili-Killen and senior forward Darius George rounded out the double-digit scorers for Team White with 16 and 10 points, respectively. Anochili-Killen grabbed six rebounds as George snared seven and dished out four helpers.
Redshirt sophomore guard Devin Collins added seven points and senior forward Mikel Beyers added six as each member of Team White tallied points in the scrimmage.
Team Black
Team Black was paced by freshman forward Chase McKey. McKey dropped a team-high 24 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double in the contest. The Atlanta native made 12 of his 18 shots.
With a second double-double was junior guard Marko Sarenac, who recorded 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Freshmen Aymeric Toussaint and Kyle Braun scored 20 and 19 points, respectively. Toussaint, a forward from Saint Denis, Reunion Island, added nine rebounds and rejected a game-high four shots.
Braun, a guard hailing from Los Angeles, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out three assists.
Sophomore guard David Early had a team-high nine assists with sophomore guard CJ Meredith scoring five and junior guard Jeremy Dillon adding three.
Freshman guard Creighton Thieneman brought down two rebounds in his first action with the Herd.
