HAVE YOU HERD
Herd coach Dan D'Antoni enters his eighth season at the helm of the Herd, sporting a 128-99 record.
The Herd looks to replace a pair of key student-athletes who departed after this past season in its career steals leader Jarrod West and its all-time blocks leader Jannson Williams. West also led the Green & White with 126 assists during the 2020-21 campaign.
Marshall returns 11 student-athletes from the 2020-21 season and adds five freshmen to the roster. Newcomers include Kyle Braun, Aymeric Toussaint, Wyatt Fricks, Chase McKey and Creighton Thieneman.
Senior guard Taevion Kinsey returns as MU's leading scorer and rebounder averaging 19.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. The native of Columbus, Ohio, has scored at least 10 points in 52 of his last 54 contests, and has not failed to reach double-figure scoring in the previous 34 games.
SCOUTING DAVIS & ELKINS
The Senators are led by third-year head coach Daniel Mondragon, who took D&E to its first Mountain East Conference Tournament appearance last season.
Breland Walton was second-team All-MEC last year after averaging a double-double with 21.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
Reigning MEC Freshman of the Year Sam Rolle IV returns to Elkins, W.Va., for his sophomore campaign. Rolle IV averaged 18.9 points and 7.2 assists per contest last season.
