If everything goes well for martial female basketball on her two-market road trip at the end of this week, the thundering herd sun belt conference may be well on her way for the regular season championship.
Marshall (17–6, 11–1 Sun Belt) led the league to play six games by two full games on James Madison and Troy. Thundering herds have already equaled their victory from last season.
First year head coach Kim Caldwell is not surprised that his team has played better basketball during half of their schedule. Uptempo crime, pressure defense and implementing his unique style of frequent replacement is not suited for immediate success.
“You are only reading a lot of things again. You are asking people to run forward to protect instead of running back back on defense. You are excluding people when there are many time, people are going out to make mistakes. We are exiting them so that we can keep them out in the game and we can keep them fresh,” Caldwell said on Tuesday. Metronus talkline,
“A lot of basketball things that they have spent 15 years, had to relay them. It took them some time to play at this pace. They are allowed to shoot it quickly. You are allowed to make mistakes and play through it because we have a lot of assets.”
Marshall started the season with 2–4 records before defeating Florida, 91–88 in Huntington.
“November was ugly, but we survived it. Thankfully, things have started for us at the right time.”
Frankfurt High School Graduate AB Beman Engineers is a martial crime that is an average of 84 points per game. Caldwell 5 -Foot -4 is affected by rebounding (6 per game) and aid total (140) of the guard.
“Her points are her points. She can score in any way. But the fact is that she is our chief rebounder and helps us, she has three triple-dals this year, she loves basketball and is a special child. I wish I could coach an AB Beman every year.”
Fairmont Senior Graduate Meredith Mayer has raised its game level since the introduction of the conference schedule.
“It took the month of November to find out. Once clicked, it was clicked. We have got some injuries. So Mahogany Matthews is out. So she has really taken a big step. The day we came to know that we came to know that we came to know that we came to know that [Matthews] Was not going with us for some time, I think Meerdith had 20 points. She has been playing really well since then. She has been in the gym. She is a selfless player and she will do anything for her comrades. ,
Marshal took action on Thursday after an eight-day break, his longest vibe from the court during his conference program. Caldwell says that keeping the team faster was a focus during off-wheel.
“We did them a little hard work. Many people probably expected us to let them go away. But I said to him, ‘Hey, in three weeks, you can get away as long as you want. We can rest. We can rest. We do not have to do much in Postsen. Let’s just finish what we tried to start. So we did a very difficult practice.
“We had Sundays. It was strange. I felt that I am really going to like it, but it’s a bit strange when you were holding your Struight.”
Thundering herd visited Appalachian state in the afternoon on Thursday. His two-game weekend in Old Dominion continues on Saturday. Marshall’s next four games are on the road. Thundering herd has already defeated its next two opponents in Huntington.
“We are playing a very high height. It’s a children’s day. It’s a doubleheader (with men’s teams). Then we go to Odu. We have finally have the most difficult part of our program.”
Caldwell took Glenville State to one place in the 2022 NCAA Division II National Championship and Final four before reaching Marshall after a year. She continues to build on the legacy of her father, late Scott Stephens. Stephens won three class AAA State Championships and 254 games in 16 seasons as head coaches at Parkersburg South.
“It has been very important for me to be in this state. My father and the legacy that was created in this state has to do a lot with him. Every time I walked in the gym with him, everyone knew who he was. The fact that he was 6 -foot -10.
“I didn’t want to go anywhere and almost wanted to start. I wanted to live in this state and somewhere they care for women’s basketball. People will support you and you will have fans in seats. We definitely had in Glenville. We had definitely in Parkersburg South. We are starting to grow it here.”
