Yes a great HERD victory. Randy Noll had 33 points and 21 rebounds and got a major write up in Sports Illustrated.3 OT’s!! I was there as well. Those MMI’s were great, esp the first 3-4 years…..
I was in Asheville and the game was a nail biter.I assume you mean Marshall games...
MU vs. UT Chatty, Southern Conference Tournament, 4 ots.

Triple!!! The old lady was rocking. 6000+, and seating much closer to the court….I was there for that one. Double overtime?
1978 against UTC when Bunny scored 50 points and the 1984 game against Marquette when we came back from 22 points down to win.
therd - iirc it was 25 down at the half! I was there as well. And their coach? Future NBA head man…..1978 against UTC when Bunny scored 50 points and the 1984 game against Marquette when we came back from 22 points down to win.

I believe Doc was in the league in ‘84.Doc Rivers was on Marquette
All great memories posted so far. How about this one. The very day the MAC kicked us out, we played the favored Bowling Green team in the Field House. The TKE Frat showed up wearing green and white tee shirts proclaiming MAC SUCKS on them. The crowd was in a frenzy and the Herd won easily. The BG coach's statement afterwards was no one could have beaten Marshall tonight.
GO HERD!!
BG was really good during that time period. I believe the ‘63 team was led by the great Nate Thurmond and and a terrific guard Howard “Butch” Komives. Later in the ‘60’s they had one of the nations leading scorers in forward Walt PiatkowskiWhat a decade of futility! We only won that one game. So, Feb 11 1967 we caught lightning in a bottle. I believe Bob Redd was on that team….

That wasn’t the TKE fraternity, Piper. Just a group of college friends. I was one of them. We had the shirts printed at Stationer’s that at that time was located across from East Tower dorm.All great memories posted so far. How about this one.

Yes. BG early in the decade and Toledo mid to late 60’s. The Marshall NIT teams could never finish ahead of Toledo to get the NCAA bid. The early 60’s MU really struggled thru the final years of the Jule Rivlin coaching tenure. Ellis Johnson came in starting in ‘63-64 and Marshall continue to struggle until he recruited the Redd/Stone group. The ‘64-65 “Baby Bombers” only won four games and the freshman games were better attended than the varsity game that followedI would think BG & Toledo battled in out back then for MAC supremacy….
If memory serves me correctly the freshmen were undefeated that year with Orville Stepp averaging 29 points and George Stone 20 points per game.Yes.

The kid's name from Marquette was Terry Trotter. I also remember Nov. 27, 1981 when we went to the very first game in the Cam against Army. The construction folks barely got everything finished before we played that first game. We arrived and had to dust off our seats from the construction. The very next game was Dec. 5 against WVU. Charles Jones' mother sang the national anthem and I can still remember the fans chanting "Go Home Mountaineers" to the tune of Lets go Mountaineers. We won 91-78.
Was at the game Doc played….I believe Doc was in the league in ‘84.
yes, he left after his jr season. Played against Marshall the previous season in Milwaukee.I believe Doc was in the league in ‘84.
I think I have that album never opened from plastic wrap.The multiple overtime game vs the Mocs in Asheville SoCon tournament hands down. I have a copy of the Hucks Herd album with highlights of that game on there and pull it out from time to time, love reliving that game.
