TULSA, Okla. -- Marshall's Thundering Herd is setting out to finish the job this time.

Last year's Conference USA men's basketball tournament run of three victories on successive days put Marshall as the No. 6 seed against No. 1 seed Memphis for the championship on the fourth day and the Tigers won on their home court.

This week Marshall is an even longer shot as the No. 9 seed, but still needs four wins in four days to wear the crown. The approach is day to day, minute to minute, timeout to timeout and half to half, Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said.

"It's (game) one of four Wednesday night," Herrion said
