Loss to Ohio State was 'wake-up call' for Marshall basketball

HUNTINGTON — There’s no moping in the Marshall basketball camp about the 41-point loss last weekend.

It was Ohio State, and the Buckeyes played well. It is November. These things can happen, reasons Thundering Herd coach Dan D’Antoni.

“First of all, you have to understand how we play,” D’Antoni said Monday. “A 41-point loss isn’t a 41-point loss to a lot of people, because we play a high-risk, high-reward offense. “It can get away from you as fast as you can run one up.

“I can change the offense so we slow them down, lose by 20.
