Tuesday, March 9, 2010
Probably no other team has been more excited about the change of Conference USA tournament scenery than Tulsa, which gets to play in its hometown.
Monday, March 8, 2010
In its first four seasons in Conference USA, Marshall had never had a player above the third unit on the all-league team.
Monday, March 8, 2010
The awards were a hot topic on the Conference USA coaches' teleconference Monday, but the league's status in the NCAA tournament was a little hotter.
Sunday, March 7, 2010
MARCH HAS roared in like a lion, and we are not talking about the weather.

DALLAS - Tyler Wilkerson scored 22 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as Marshall defeated Southern Methodist 73-57 Saturday night at Moody Coliseum, thus earning a bye in the first round of the Conference USA tournament.
Friday, March 5, 2010
The good news for Marshall, as it tries to gain a first-round bye in the Conference USA tournament is this: Southern Methodist, tonight's foe, has yet to beat the Thundering Herd.
Friday, March 5, 2010
Football star Chad Pennington was in Scott Depot on Friday to hand over a $15,000 check to the Tri-County YMCA.
Thursday, March 4, 2010
Marshall and ISP Sports have reached an agreement to extend their 12-year relationship to 2021, with some very tangible results coming to the Thundering Herd's several sports venues.
Wednesday, March 3, 2010
While Marshall seems to have a spot in some postseason tournament secure with a 22-8 overall record, the goal is to win the Conference USA tournament and a ticket to the "Big Dance." It would be nice to have to win three games in three days next week, instead of four in four. Either way, the road very likely goes through Tulsa.

HUNTINGTON - After surviving most of the 32-point explosion from Randy Culpepper and looking as if it was going to upend No. 24 Texas-El Paso, Marshall found Derek Caracter just a little too much to handle inside.
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
OF COURSE, it's of little consolation to Marshall's three seniors who filed out of Henderson Center with a loss in their final home game Tuesday night.
Monday, March 1, 2010
The opponent for Marshall's last home game has clinched a tie for the Conference USA regular-season championship, and it's not Memphis. But Texas-El Paso could be called "Memphis West."
Sunday, February 28, 2010
HUNTINGTON - Four questions emerge after witnessing the wildest game in Cam Henderson Center history, Marshall's 121-115 triple-overtime victory Saturday night over Central Florida:
Saturday, February 27, 2010
HUNTINGTON - Perhaps Marshall's football team could have used some of the basketball team's Knight-slayers during the Mark Snyder era.
Saturday, February 27, 2010
WITH ALL that's swirling - including snow - around Gov. Joe Manchin, the last issue with which he needs to deal is football scheduling.
Friday, February 26, 2010
HUNTINGTON - Calling Marshall's game tonight against Central Florida a "trap" game might be accurate, what with league leader Texas-El Paso following the Knights into Cam Henderson Center three days hence.
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
HOUSTON - Chris Lutz scored 20 points and Hassan Whiteside dominated the inside with a strong double-double as Marshall ran through Rice 77-54 Wednesday at Tudor Fieldhouse.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
In the off-chance Marshall players needed to be reminded, their last game demonstrated that there is no such thing as a sure conference road win - even against teams at the bottom of the standings.
Monday, February 22, 2010
Marshall's Hasan Whiteside was named the Conference USA freshman of the week Monday.
Saturday, February 20, 2010
NEW ORLEANS - Kevin Sims' 3-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark as Marshall held on for a 58-55 win Saturday night at Tulane.
