Not a good start for the Herd.. Down 16-4 early.

[Herdalum83]

Mini run by the Herd to get it back to four down 16-12 now.

[Herdalum83]

11:38 left in the first half. Rockets lead by five, 19-14.

Toledo playing with much more energy and quickness than Ohio.  Herd shot selection is not good so far, not helping O rebounds

[Herdalum83]

Under 8 timeout. Rockets still lead up six 31-25. Marshall ball after the timeout. Beyers our leading scorer right now with 8 points, he's hit two deep threes. We are struggling on defense right now. West out with 2 fouls.

I started watching late. I didn’t think the game started until 7.

Well our D had been pretty good but tonight we can’t guard a chair. Penetration is killing us.

They've got 20 points in the paint already.

[Herdalum83]

3:37 to go in the first half.. Herd can't get any closer than four, currently down six 35-29. But Beyers will be on the line after the timeout.

No flow at all in this game. I hope we can keep it close til halftime, make some adjustments, and control the flow of the 2nd half.

[Big City]

Have to give Toledo credit. They hustle and play their game. Marshall out of sync big time.

[Johns1124]

Is it on TV can you watch it?

[herdorbust]

Beyers can shoot you in a game and he can shoot you out of a game. No offense at all right now. Just one on one blacktop ball. Danny needs to go with no more than 7 guys in the second half. Way to sloppy playing to many guys.

Comedy of turnovers, wild, ill advised shots for the Herd.  Our lack of "athleticism" especially in the front court, is obvious.  Slow in adjusting, switching on the defensive interior where they are scoring almost at will in the paint!

[Herdalum83]

Beyers has really kept us in this first half. West has been saddled with foul trouble on the bench for most of the first half.

[Herdalum83]

Now Kinsey with his second foul.

[herdorbust]

How are we only down 4? Kinsey is totally out of sync as is the whole team.

[Herdalum83]

Now Beyers is hurt and he's been the only positive this half. 11 points for him off the bench.

Are you watching the same game as me? Beyers is the only reason this game is close right now.

[Herdalum83]

Radio, having some issues now.

[herdfan129]

All things considered I’m happy to only be down 42-39 at the half.

[Herdalum83]

The defense played much better the last 3 or 4 minutes of that half.. But, no way when it's a tie game and you have the ball with 20 seconds left should the other team get another shot. Marko takes a bad three Toledo takes advantage and hits a three of their own at the horn to go into the half with the 42-39 lead.

[coalherd]

What are we shooting, 15 per cent from the field?  Guards can't finish at the rim; 7 footers can't finish at the rim?  Rockets and their overall style are exposing the Herd's flaws.  We're helping by bricking most of our shots!!

[herdorbust]

That was one sad half of basketball. No use to sugarcoat it. I think they started feeling a little to good about themselves. How we are only down 3 is surprising.

Guess Marko decided it was his turn (to take a wild, ill advised shot, that is).
