Ohio men beat Marshall 85-70 behind Simmons and strong second half
The Ohio Bobcat men’s basketball team came into Tuesday’s night’s game against the Marshall Thundering Herd struggling with turnovers and taking care of the ball for 40 minutes.
Tuesday in the Convocation Center, Ohio again had trouble taking care of the ball – at least for 20 minutes. In the first half alone, the Bobcats committed 12 turnovers, and the Herd responded by scoring 15 points off turnovers. At the half, Ohio (4-2) and Marshall (0-4) were tied at 35.
“First half, we just got back from the Virgin Islands and hadn’t played a game in week. We came out with island legs,” said junior forward Tony Campbell. “We came out sluggish.”
