LAFAYETTE, La. – The Marshall University men's basketball team (19-6, 8-4 Sun Belt) fell on the road, 77-67, to the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (20-4, 10-2 Sun Belt) on Saturday night in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Â
"They wanted it more earlier than we did," Herd men's basketball head coach Dan D'Antoni said. "They came out intent on winning a ballgame. We came out to play a ballgame."
Â
Marshall was down by as many as 18 points in the second half and cut the deficit to seven, but couldn't overtake the Ragin' Cajuns.
Â
Taevion Kinsey tallied a game-high 28 points, including 16 in the second half, on a 10-for-21 shooting night.
Â
Andrew Taylor dished out a team-high five assists while scoring seven points as Obinna Anochili-Killen had nine points and seven rebounds.
Â
With eight rebounds, Micah Handlogten led the Herd.
Â
Notes
MU saw a two game winning streak come to an end in the loss.
Â
Tonight was Kinsey's 15th game of 20 or more points this season, including his seventh during conference play.
Â
Taylor didn't reach double-figure scoring for the time this season, snapping a 37-game streak.
Â
UP NEXT
The Herd looks to get back in the win column when it heads to Myrtle Beach to take on Coastal Carolina Thursday night at 7 p.m.
