Marshall Girls Basketball

We should have more posts about Marshall girls . . . not necessarily basketball or sports related.
Guys... You sound like geezers when referring to it as "girls" basketball. It is womens and mens basketball at the college level. Boys and girls in HS
The team was terrible earlier in the season but have really picked it up the past couple of weeks. They are playing as well as any Herd womens team in recent years.
"Girls" may not be PC, but at least no one in this thread pulled a Don Imus.
The women's team lost to Clemson by 14, dropping their record to 5-6. The women have not had a winning season since 15-16 and were 9-20, with 2 of the wins being over non- Div I teams last year.
Women’s basketball at Marshall will never win. The only reason we field a team is Title 9 I guess. Despite poplular belief, CUSA DOES NOT require women’s b’ball for membership.
Imus is a well known radio host who, several years ago, made a vile comment about black female basketball players at Rutgers. I wouldn't even repeat his comment in a quote so Google him if you wish.
Yes, I do follow women's basketball. I also follow baseball, football, volleyball, mens basketball and softball too. I happen to enjoy those sports and the jersey says MARSHALL on them
Well that is technically true, but under the idiotic Title IX you have to play something. If not basketball, then what? At least with basketball you can use existing facilities already in place for the men's team, it is played in WV HS, and the average person can at least understand it. Field hockey? Water polo? Fencing?
It’s the third highest line item sport in our budget with the least ROI. Hell, drop women’s b’ball and pick up bowling. It’s a growing women’s sport, less money and they can bowl at the Strike Zone. Much cheaper.

Fencing would be so much more interesting if they would just take that protective tip off the foil.
