HUNTINGTON - The Marshall men's basketball team can wipe the slate clean starting now in preparation for this week's Conference USA tournament.

But, Thundering Herd Coach Tom Herrion said, the same can be said for all 11 teams in this year's field.

"Whatever seed you come in, it doesn't matter," Herrion said Sunday. "Every team goes in thinking that way. That's what tournament play is all about. It's survive and advance in its simplest terminology. All teams' focus is simply to win that next game." 

Marshall's next game is 9:30 p.m. Wednesday versus Tulane  in the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. The Herd (13-18, 6-10 C-USA) is the No. 9 seed facing the eighth-seeded Green Wave (18-13, 6-10 C-USA), and will enter that contest trying to bounce back from its regular-season-ending 86-79 loss at East Carolina.
