Rock hoops teams fall to Bloomsburg

Slippery Rock University coach John Marhefka was concerned his team was looking ahead to the holidays in the first half of its game against Bloomsburg.

In the second half, The Rock seemed refreshed, but the Huskies were able to fend off a late rally in a 78-70 men's basketball victory Wednesday.

SRU (1-8) overcame a 12-point second half deficit to take the lead with 3:55 remaining, but Bloomsburg's experience down the stretch played a key role.

"When you're young and losing and on holiday break, it's tough. "It seems everyone wants to get out early," said Marhefka. "Our guys' second-half effort was where we needed to be, but we need to do that in the first half."
