HUNTINGTON – Following the announcement here of the 2012-13 Marshall men’s basketball schedule earlier this week, I still have two questions Coach Tom Herrion hasn’t answered:
 
What, the Heat or Lakers weren’t available?
 
You couldn’t get U.S. Olympic assistant coach and Herd hoops legend Mike D’Antoni to coax the gold medal team to play at the Garden while you’re up on Long Island at Hofstra?
 
What about the Brooklyn Nets? New York Knicks?
 
"Clearly it's a great challenge and clearly a testament to where our program continues to move," Herrion said of the schedule that includes defending NCAA champion Kentucky. "We will be challenged from the get-go, but I think this is where we're at."
