Marshall (1-2) lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes (2-1) in a contest that was tight during the second half. The Thundering Herd took a one-point lead in the first minute of the contest but never saw another second ahead in a David vs Goliath matchup. The Herd went into halftime trailing 45-27. Despite a large lead, Marshall never wavered, coming out of the half and going on a 14-0 scoring run to make the Ohio State lead a meager five points. The Buckeyes eventually pulled away late, but the Herd stayed in it until the end, losing 84-74.Ohio State had five players hit the double figure mark in the scoring column, led by John Mobley Jr’s 19-point performance. Marshall’s Noah Otshudi had a stellar game posting 27 points to lead all scorers in the game. He was the Herd’s lone outlet during the first half and continued his success out of the break. Bryce Slay, the Herd’s leading scorer on the season, posted 15 points while going 3-6 from the three-point line. Marshall got an energy boost from forward Luke Rasmussen who scored six points, pulled down five boards and stole the ball twice. After the game Marshall Head Coach Corny Jackson talked about Rasmussen’s impact off the bench. “Luke had what four points, or five points, six points whatever he had, but he had six rebounds, he brought great energy,” said Jackson. “Our message is one day it’s you, one day it’s me, but it’s always us. Proud of our guys, we just have to stay the course, I like our team.” Fouls have become the bane of the Herd’s existence. Against Toledo the Herd fouled 25 times, that continued against the Buckeyes as it was called for 27 personal fouls. Ohio State hit 25 of its 35 free throw attempts for an efficient 71% from the charity stripe. Marshall’s continued foul trouble was touched on post-game by coach Jackson. “The difference in the game again was plus twenty free throws, so obviously we’ve gotta get that corrected,” said Jackson. “Proud of effort, proud of our fight, we have to keep building on this. Take this one and build on it, it’s not the outcome we wanted, we came here expecting to win, we didn’t come here to Columbus to go to the Columbus Zoo.”Regardless of the result, Marshall showed resilience and the ability to battle against a topflight opponent. The Herd is back in action on Saturday, Nov 14, as it travels to face the Youngstown State Penguins at the Zidian Family Arena at the Beeghly Center in Youngstown, OH.
