A late night in Tulsa is Marshall’s reward for what wasn’t supposed to be a sub-.500 season.

The Thundering Herd wound up with the No. 9 seed in the Conference USA Tournament that starts Wednesday in Tulsa, Okla. They will match up with No. 8 Tulane at 9:30 p.m. Eastern.

The season started with talk of a possible trip to the NCAA Tournament based on a talented roster and a schedule that provided opportunity for some signature wins. Instead, success never materialized.

Now, an improbable run to the tournament championship is Marshall’s only chance at playing postseason basketball for the fourth straight year.
