Charleston, West Virginia – West Virginia’s alumni team Best Virginia easily handled Marshall’s alumni team Herd That last night, winning 89-79 to advance to the 3rd round of the $1 million dollar, winner-take-all tournament.
However, during the game, some West Virginia fans apparently took the trash talk between the two teams too far.
Jon Elmore, a former Marshall player who now plays for Herd That, had the following to say about the fan behavior during the game: “Smack talk (is) cool and all but y’all start talking sh*t to my family, that’s too much. My mom and sister had to leave the game because of harassment. That sh*t wack!”

Elmore went on to say, “To the Best Virginia fans that showed respect and class, that was a hell of an environment and game. Great show for the state. All love!”
