HUNTINGTON - Memphis' last Conference USA basketball trip to the Henderson Center brought a sense of frustration to the home team.

"It comes to a point where you get tired of losing, and definitely to the same team, constantly," Marshall senior Dennis Tinnon said Saturday night.

The Thundering Herd has played more games this season against quality foes than anyone in C-USA, including Saturday's 71-59 loss to the No. 22 Tigers (22-3, 10-0) before a crowd of 6,116.

Marshall (11-15, 4-7) previously had played Memphis as tough as anyone in the Tigers' 16-game winning streak, the nation's second-longest current run to Akron's 17 in a row. That was a 73-72 Herd loss back on Jan. 26 at FedEx Forum.
