For the first time in three seasons, a ranked opponent will play at the Cam Henderson Center tonight.

Marshall will host No. 22 Memphis at 8 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network with Dave Ryan and Pete Gillen calling the action.

Both teams are coming off home wins as the Tigers (23-3, 10-0 Conference USA) recorded their 15th straight victory on Wednesday — second in the NCAA only to Akron’s 16 — an 83-71 win over UCF.

The Thundering Herd (11-14, 4-6 C-USA) won on Wednesday as well, beating Rice 71-70.

The last time a ranked team played in Huntington was March 2, 2010. The Herd lost to No. 21 UTEP, 80-76.
