HUNTINGTON - The Marshall men's basketball team figured junior college transfers Elijah Pittman and D.D. Scarver would be important additions to the roster this season.

"We recruited them to be guys we thought could play and help us right away," Thundering Herd Coach Tom Herrion said.

It didn't know just how important.

With injuries and ineligibility taking a toll this year, the Thundering Herd have relied on the two to fill more needs than thought. Their importance was evident from the season opener, as Pittman and Scarver have been fixtures in the starting lineup. Scarver has started all 13 games, while Pittman has started 11 of 13.
