Seniors unite He set a school record and confer­ ence record with 1O three-pointers In Trio returns to lead Herd one game. He also set a school record for most three-point attempts by DAN LONDEREE in a game with 18. The senior from staff writer Seabrook, Md., was a pre-season first team all-conference selection: They are the seniors. They are the inspiration, the heart, the soul, the experi­ ence. They are Keith Veney, Sidney Coles and John Brannen. _ They have a job to do. These three seniors are in a unique situation. They all transferred to Marshall for their junior seasons, and thus all are in only their second season playing for the Herd. Still, these three young men have the most basketball expe­ rience of anyone on the team, and their presence as leaders is felt. . Veney said his role on the team has changed some for his senior season, but he said he can adapt.

"We're not going the better defensive players to take as many threes, and we're trying to work the ball in the Southern Conference. inside to out." Coles said the seniors on this team have a specific respon­ sibility to the rest of the team. "The seniors need to use our leadership," he said. "We need to show the new guys what college basketball is all about." During his freshman year at Memphis University, Coles played with point guard Anfernee Hardaway, now an NBA star with the Orlando Magic. He played point guard at Greenbrier East High School and at Memphis. With the loss of Jason Williams to the University of Florida, Coles is likely to be the man to step in and run the show. "I'm very excited," he said. "I'm going to try and play my · game without being too flashy." Veney said he has confidence in Coles' ability. "He has played point guard before," Veney said. "Playing point is like riding a bike, you don't really forget. He knows how to get the ball where you need it." Brannen said he fits in the equation with Coles and Veney. "I like playing the inside-outside game," Brannen said. ''This year we have the versatility to do it a lot. And I love playing with Keith and Sidney, because we know what one another is thinking out there on the court."
