There was a pillow fight in West Virginia.
No, there was not a sleepover, just a soft first half of basketball by two teams who lacked physicality.
At halftime of Saturday’s Conference USA game between Louisiana Tech and Marshall, Lady Techster head coach Brooke Stoehr spoke to her squad, comparing the opening two quarters of play to a pillow fight.
In the second half, Tech (11-11, 6-5 C-USA) got the message and had a different type of energy about them at the Cam Henderson Center, outscoring Marshall (12-10, 4-7 C-USA) by 18 points in a 72-54 win.
