Another second-half shooting slide impacted Marshall Men’s Basketball on Wednesday night, as the Georgia Southern Eagles bested the Herd 87-73 in Statesboro, Georgia.
The loss extended Marshall’s losing streak to six games and is the longest stretch of consecutively lost games for Marshall this season.
After a near-even first half, the score was 43-42 at halftime, with the Eagles leading the Herd by a lone point. Marshall kept the contest close in the first half due to their shooting, but it, along with defensive inefficiencies, cost them the ballgame in the second half.
The Eagles outscored the Herd 44-31 in the second half.
