HUNTINGTON — Marshall enjoyed an expected easy time Thursday night in its 90-67 win over Florida Atlantic, but there were some bumpy spots.
More often than not, Ryan Taylor tamped down those bumps with authority.
Take the time when the Owls, perhaps destined for the Conference USA cellar, cut a 25-point Thundering Herd lead to 64-49. The junior from Indianapolis took the ball at the top of the key and made no pretense of passing — he blew by a defender and needed just two dribbles to make a monster throw-down.
When the Owls cut the lead to 70-55, Taylor “took it easy,” making the same drive for a layup.
