This is 2 bad teams.

Bad indeed. But we need this win. There is no reason that we shouldn't win this.

Next foul on Ohio and we are shooting two the rest of the game. We have to start the offense with a two-man game with Martin screening and rolling off the ball. The offense goes well there. Martin has the highest basketball IQ on the team.

[Garbanjo]

Put Crawford in FFS

[jdonaccbus]

Conner with an incredibly weak drive to the basket at the 4:20 mark. Doesn't even try to initiate contact.

[jdonaccbus]

He needs to get Crawford in the game and go with a better lineup. Late in the game, we don't need Conner's sit down on the shooter defense.

And for the life of me, OAK has thrown two horrible passes in the game and then gets mad at his teammates. That one pass on the transition was brutal.

[jdonaccbus]

Boals comes out of the under 4:00 timeout with an adjustment and twice gets his big man in the post.

On the other hand, we blow an easy drive to the basket when OAK should have tried to take it in for the jam. The offense stands still. No adjustment out of the timeout. Just Dan saying "we need stops".

Crawford for 3

Herd down by 1 under a minute left

[jdonaccbus]

Back-to-back three's by Curfman and Crawford.

It looks like it will be our ball down 1. Either way, Dan needs to tell them 1 possession game, get out on the shooters and keep it a one-possession game. Don't give up an open look three.

I can't believe he sat Crawford that long.

Back-to-back three's by Curfman and Crawford.

I can't believe he sat Crawford that long.

Sure it is life lesson reasons for it.

OBINNA with a bank 3

Herd up 71-69 with 20 seconds left.

[jdonaccbus]

He finally hits one. I'll take it. We got to get a stop and a win. We can't go to 2-7.

[herdorbust2]

And Danny allows Obinna to shoot a 3 to win it. He lucks out and banks it in. How many coaches in America would allow that?

[mu79grad]

Win or lose much, much better team play this game.

[MUfan08]

Ohio missed and Marshall gets the rebound

Obinna to shoot free throws

[MUfan08]

Splits them Herd up 3 with 9.6 seconds left

[jdonaccbus]

12 of 24 from the free throw line today. That is bad. Could have ended the game with two makes there.

You have to foul here. Don't let them tie it.

[jdonaccbus]

Hit one here and we are winners.

[jdonaccbus]

Good win at a place we haven't had much success even when we had good teams.

3-6 and hopefully a little momentum with a road win.

[MUfan08]

Ohio missed their first free throw and Voyles gets it and goes to the line.

Voyles made it a two possession game with 4.5 seconds left.

Ohio doesn't lose that much on their home court.

Give credit to Danny and the boys here.

[thunderingon]

Much needed win. This team has the pieces to be good. They still aren?t playing together well but got it done today.

[Garbanjo]

Yahoo!

Go Herd!


*Play Crawford more moving forward ffs

[TexasHerdFan]

Good win today

[Buffalo Bop]

Any win over Ohio is a good win!

[MUfan08]

12 of 24 from the free throw line today. That is bad. Could have ended the game with two makes there.

Be fair, Obinna missed 7 of those haha...still agree

[Bob25526]

I'm gonna play the lottery

[MUfan08]

Hasn't won in Athens since 2010.

[jdonaccbus]

It breaks a 4-game losing streak.

We are better with Crawford in there. He makes mistakes, but he has to learn with playing time.

It didn't look good shortly after the 4:00 timeout. But give credit to these guys, they did fight hard and surprised how bad Ohio's defense was on those 3's we hit considering they had a 3 possession lead.
