HUNTINGTON — It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, there was both a time for cheering and despair for fans of the Thundering Herd in a 40-minute game. It was a game where senior Ryan Taylor scored only five points with two rebounds, fellow senior Austin Loop scored only three and sophomore CJ Burks scored only one point.
But it was also a night where senior Stevie Browning continued to find big shots when the Herd needed them on the way to 24 points, junior Jon Elmore stepped in to score the winning shot, score 15 points and grab nine rebounds, junior Terrence Thompson came up with his third double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds and Taylor blocked five shots to tie his season and career high — earlier against Old Dominion as well.
