Men’s basketball drops to Louisiana on the road 77-67.
The slow offensive first half proved costly for the Herd as they shot 10 of 29 from the field and were outrebounded 26 to 11.
Marshall’s largest deficit was 14 in the first half, 30-16, with 5:38 remaining.
“They wanted it more earlier than we did,” Herd men’s basketball head coach Dan D’Antoni said. “They came out intent on winning a ballgame. We came out to play a ball game.”
In the second half, Marshall’s largest deficit was 18 points. Marshall cut the deficit to eight points, but Louisiana never allowed the Herd to cut the deficit closer.
