Marshall men’s basketball couldn’t battle back from Old Dominion’s 21 second-chance points in a nail-biting conference showdown, dropping an 84-79 decision to the Monarchs Thursday night at the Cam Henderson Center.
“The physicality got to us,” junior guard Jon Elmore said. “We have to get more physical, rebound better. We can’t give up that many second chance points if we want to win.”
Marshall had two second-chance points, compared to ODU’s 21. The Monarchs also scored 22 points off Marshall’s 19 turnovers and took 17 more total shots than the Herd.
“It’s hard to win a game when a team outshoots you by that many,” Elmore said.
