HUNTINGTON — Marshall's men’s basketball team began its season with its first of two exhibition games on Tuesday, downing Alice Lloyd 123-63.

The Thundering Herd was led by Noah Otshudi’s 21 points. Marshall shot 20 for 43 on 3-pointers, had 14 steals and blocked seven shots.

The assist-to-turnover ratio for Marshall finished at 31-13. The Herd moved the ball well, often kicking the second or third pass into a make.
