Go Herd

[elginherd]

It's been very sloppy.
Herd giving up a lot of and-ones, too.

17-7 wrong way 2:53 im the 1st

[mu79grad]

23-15 Texas State at the end of of the 1st quarter.  Team seems lethargic.

[elginherd]

Marshall behind by 8 end of the first.

Marshall's colder than Lake Michigan.
If they start hitting at their normal percentage, all will be good.

[elginherd]

The Herd has forced 13 turnovers, only 1 pt to show for it.

[elginherd]

And with a 15 point run, all on triples,the Herd is up 36-28

42-28 half.  Courtesy of a 21-0 run

[DC01HERD]

What a run.

[luckytoes99]

They are so fun to watch. That run was a thing of beauty.

10-24 from 3 in just the first half. Most teams would be happy if that was the stats for a full game.

Shows what can be accomplished when you have a HC who can (1) identify REAL talent and, (2) go out and work, hustle, etc., and obtain such talent and thus improve and/or turn around the fortunes of your team QUICKLY, i.e., in a season or so.  Unfortunately, none of this exists in the person filling the MU Men's Head Coaching position!!

[svherd]

These gals are fun to watch. They play hard and work together. Caldwell is awesome!

[elginherd]

Tx St has cut the lead to 5 midway through the third.

[goherd73]

And just like that back up to a 15 point lead.

[goherd73]

Up by 13 to start the 4th.

[jdonaccbus]

Marshall 72 Texas State 51 with under 5:00 to go in the game.

[jdonaccbus]

85-59 victory on the road.

We are still up two games in the standings with three to play. I am excited. I don't care what people think about women's basketball. These women play with grit, heart and a championship mentality. The coach knows how to push buttons. She has this team groomed as her practices are harder than the games. They just gradually dismantle teams as the game moves on. I like this. It is a championship mentality that has evolved in just one season.

I really hope fans come out for the final two games. These ladies deserve a tremendous atmosphere to close out the season. Our athletic department needs to devote energy and communication for this team. This is where we have a chance to hoist a banner.....not just give you a bunch of lip service. This is a championship quality team that plays with high energy and high intensity.

Chalk another one up for the Herd!!!

[herd2win]

Very easy team to root for.  Great job by players and coaching staff.

I really like having the women's team being the later game of the night.  So much more fun watching them than being on the board reading complaints about the boys.

[lexkyherdfan]

The women?s team is fun to watch. They get down and are never out of it.  I watched the whole game tonight and very little of the men?s game.  The women?s team is easy to cheer for.

Good TO KNOW that we have enough discerning and knowledgeable fans who can easily and quickly realize when the play of the women's team deserves cheers and praise and when the stumbling, bumbling, and POORLY COACHED "boys" team deserves slings and arrows and "complaints"!!
