MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD MEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Marshall's men's basketball team competes from Huntington, West Virginia, where the program represents an institution founded in 1837 with a current enrollment of 12,318 students. Competing in the Sun Belt Conference at the Division I-FBS level, the Thundering Herd plays home games at the Cam Henderson Center under coach Cornelius Jackson's direction. The 15-player roster reflects Jackson's approach to roster construction for the 2024-25 season.
The team posted a 17-10 overall record with notable home success, going 12-3 at Cam Henderson Center while struggling 5-7 on the road and posting a 6-5 conference mark. Marshall's offense averaged 80.4 points per game while surrendering 76.1 points defensively, demonstrating competitive balance through the winter season. The significant gap between home and away performance—a seven-game swing in winning percentage—highlights their reliance on their Huntington environment's support and familiarity with their primary venue.
Jackson's program operates within the competitive structure of the Sun Belt, where Marshall must navigate consistent conference play while developing consistency in road performance to advance postseason opportunities beyond their current trajectory.
