I know this was posted in the post game thread but I thought it deserved it’s own thread and (if there’s not one already) it would be good to have a running thread to archive our guys reaching these milestones.
Congrats to Joseph Uchebo recorded 16 boards vs. UTSA at Halton Arena on 2/25/16 to pass Kenyon Martin as all time CUSA (conference only) rebound king! Awesome to have had him for his last year and he has been a remarkable story to follow and “root for” all season.

Note that last season was the first to play 18 games. Marshall’s team this season is going to rewrite the book.[/quote]
Also of note, our offense last year was very, good. Top 70 in the country in Offensive Efficiency (Adjusted for opponents). We’ve already scored 1236 points in conference games this season, 92 short of what we scored last year. Marshall already has scored 1380 points, 62 points more than we had last season.
