TULSA, Okla. - Oh yes, it is a new season for Marshall's basketball team. Tonight, that team had better turn in a new effort against Tulane.

The old one will not do. A repeat will signal the end of the Thundering Herd's difficult season by halftime.

Marshall begins its campaign to ease the memory of 18 losses, some more dismal than others, when it battles the Green Wave tonight in the first round of the Conference USA tournament at the BOK Center. Tipoff is at 9:30 p.m. EDT.

In New Orleans on Feb. 6, the Herd lost 91-75. It was the fifth-largest margin among MU's 18 defeats, but it rated higher in the stink-it-up scale.
