By Doug SmockHUNTINGTON, W.Va. - When Marshall's basketball team convened for its first October practice, there were several things the Thundering Herd didn't expect.On the dark side was an 18-loss season, one for which the Herd will try to atone this week at the Conference USA tournament in Tulsa, Okla. Ninth-seeded MU plays No. 8 Tulane at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday at the BOK Center.On the brighter side was DeAndre Kane's ability to take over as the full-time point guard after the unexpected ineligibility of freshman Kareem Canty."When you're in the top 10 in the country in assists," said MU coach Tom Herrion. "I said this before - I don't think anybody ever dreamt that they'd say that about him before this season. He's shown more of his abilities."
