OT - Marshall Wins Conference USA Tournament
(4) Marshall 67
(3) Western Kentucky 66
The Thundering Herd's first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1987.
Could be a sneaky underdog pick to win a game - depending on their Round of 64 matchup of course.

got a 12 or 11 seed. More likely a 13 or 14.
Well, in the spots where there is a prediction for them to be in the tournament on BracketMatrix, there are picked to basically be a 13/14 candidate for seeding (13 by average pick), so spot on here.
Right now, the other 13's are predicted to be Murray State, Charleston and UNC-Greensboro over there.
in PG, Jon Elmore, who can shoot it from anywhere and Ajdin Penava is an excellent C who can shoot, rebound and block shots.
They love to shoot 3s and if they get hot, they can take anybody down. They gave Xavier a scare at Xavier.

But how is Marshall getting into the Tournament of any importance to anyone outside of West Virginia? A question for the multitudes...and no googling allowed...who coaches Marshall basketball???

Violated my own non-googling request. Dan D'Antoni. No, not a relation to Mark D'Antoni. But is the older brother of Mike D'Antoni.

Any relation to Mork?
& Matthew McConaughey is HC.
His name is Dale, has a slight southern/twangy accent, smiles all the time, and has a beard and a gut ...perfect stereotypical Image. P.S. he's a nice guy to boot.
I'll be picking the thundering herd for a first round upset in his honor.
