HUNTINGTON — “You have to play perfect against the No. 22 ranked team,” Marshall Coach Tom Herrion said.
 
“This was clearly a game of two halves for us. The second was a game of ‘haves’ and the first half was ‘have-nots’ in terms of our defense, and our scoring drought.”
 
The Herd’s head coach was speaking on playing well for a half is never good enough to beat a team with a 16-straight game winning streak, a team like Memphis — without a true road loss all season.
 
In the end, it was about the Herd’s 12-point home loss to the road-tested Tigers Saturday night, 71-59, in Huntington.
