Coming nowhere near to matching the fireworks from last year’s regular season opener, it was an opening night to forget for the Wisconsin Herd Friday night as they fell to the Greensboro Swarm 114-98 in front of their home crowd.
The Swarm were quick to get out in front of the Herd to open the contest, which certainly wasn’t helped by the fact that the Herd didn’t knock down their first shot from the field until the 8:25 mark of the first quarter.
With that said, the Herd came within two of the Swarm at the end of the first quarter, thanks to forward Jordan Barnett providing a scoring spark off the bench as he logged a 10-point first quarter.
