HUNTINGTON - Conventional wisdom says Marshall is beginning play tonight in the bottom rung of the college basketball postseason hierarchy.
Sunday, March 14, 2010
After failing to receive a bid to the National Invitation Tournament, Marshall's first postseason appearance in 22 years will take on the flavor of those old Southern Conference days.

WELL, I'VE HEARD about how tough it is for Conference USA teams to fly into Huntington. Me, I found it difficult to get out of Tulsa.

TULSA, Okla. - With super-scoring teammate Aubrey Coleman in the deep freeze, Kelvin Lewis scored 28 points to shoot Houston past top-seeded Texas-El Paso 81-73 in the Conference USA championship game at the BOK Center.

TULSA, Okla. - Marshall's penchant for collapsing at the Conference USA tournament took an even more appalling, excruciating turn Thursday night at the BOK Center.

TULSA, Okla. - Heading into the late game Thursday night between top seed Texas-El Paso and Central Florida, a first-round bye didn't mean much at the Conference USA tournament.

TULSA, Okla. - Yes, there will be a Marshall-Tulsa quarterfinal in the Conference USA tournament, and Whiteside-Jordan III will go on as expected.

TULSA, Okla. - Marshall's loss last year in the first round of the Conference USA tournament irritates every returning Thundering Herd player, but none more so than Tyler Wilkerson.

If you have seen a few of Hassan Whiteside's 168 blocked shots or the dozens of attempts he altered, you might not raise an eyebrow over his selection as Conference USA's Freshman and Defensive Player of the Year.
Tuesday, March 9, 2010
Probably no other team has been more excited about the change of Conference USA tournament scenery than Tulsa, which gets to play in its hometown.

Friday, March 5, 2010

Football star Chad Pennington was in Scott Depot on Friday to hand over a $15,000 check to the Tri-County YMCA.
Thursday, March 4, 2010
Marshall and ISP Sports have reached an agreement to extend their 12-year relationship to 2021, with some very tangible results coming to the Thundering Herd's several sports venues.
Wednesday, March 3, 2010
While Marshall seems to have a spot in some postseason tournament secure with a 22-8 overall record, the goal is to win the Conference USA tournament and a ticket to the "Big Dance." It would be nice to have to win three games in three days next week, instead of four in four. Either way, the road very likely goes through Tulsa.
