The Thundering Herd was unable to continue its success at home Saturday night, falling to the Memphis Tigers 71-59 in the Cam Henderson Center.

A poor first half doomed the Herd. “Clearly a game of two halves for us,” Marshall Head Coach Tom Herrion said. “The second half a game of haves and the first half a game of have not’s in terms of our defense.”

The Herd got off to a quick start, nailing three of its first four three-point shots. Unfortunately, the Herd cooled off and finished the first half, shooting only 33.3 percent.

The Tigers suffered no such shooting slump, knocking down 51 percent of their first half shots.
